Enumerating windows from an NT service

Hi all,

The service I have written can not enumerate the current user's desktop
windows when running as a service.

I read where one solution to this is to install the service with
"SystemAccount" rights and "Allow service to interact with desktop" but I
know it leaves the system vulnerable to maliciousness.

Is there a way to programmatically enumerate through the current desktop
windows when running as a service?

Also, How I can know the name of the user when he logged?

Thanks in advance
