There are a couple of things you have to do here - you have to set up the service so that it can interact with the desktop. This is done in the service applet in Control Panel/Administrative Tools.

• Double click the service to open it
• Select the Log On tab
• Make sure the service is set to "Local System Account" (otherwise it cannot interact with the desktop"
• Check "Allow service to interact with desktop"

Now, in your service onstart event, new up your login form:

Dim MyLoginForm as new frmLogin '(or whatever its called)
Dim ValidUser As Boolean = False

If MyLoginForm.ShowDialog() = vbOK Then
       'Check username/password, set ValidUser
End If

If Not ValidUser Then
      'Do what you have to in order to delete the folder
End If

MyLoginForm.Close
