If you don't have the Platform SDK download it here

http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/...sdk/sdkupdate/

or order the CD. Then take a look at the sample service in its

samples\winbase\service

directory. It is an old C application but its virtue is that it shows most
of what you need to know about services and not much else. Jeffrey Richter
devotes a chapter to services in his excellent book "Programming Server Side
Applications for MS Windows 2000".

VC6 has an wizard which generates the boilerplate for (COM based?) services.
I've never used it, you might want to post again in an ATL group if you want
to take that route.
