The software(Java app) I'm working on is currently started through a batch file set up as a windows service, but it looks kind of a hassle to set it up for each computer, when I can just write a .bat file that creates a shortcut to the startup folder from a simple double-click. Are there any advantages to using windows services instead of the startup folder in windows 7?

The service will run automatically when windows boots up and also restart automatically if the service fails. You can manage service options by running services.msc
