c# Best way to start application from Windows Service

Question

I have Windows service started from Local Service. This service can be installed on terminal windows server with multiple users. As I understand service started in "Session 0" and can not interact with users in easy way. What is the best way start another exe file for each user from this service? I think this another application can not be started from service directly. I can add via service add application in registry startup key and this application will start on next logon, but I not sure that it is the best solution

Just to mention a few:

• Sockets
