Is it possible to change Calibre-Server.exe to change to a service for Windows

On a Windows you have more posibilitys for a service
* Start Automatic on Windows start up
* Start Autimatic whit a delay
* Start whit hand
* Disabled

And it is possible to give start parameters
Ore config event on errors

I don't think calibre-server.exe itself should change to be a service, since calibre is cross-platform. However I do run calibre-server.exe as a service using NSSM (I used to use srvany.exe, but that's old and dead) and it works great. The only thing I changed from default was to run the service as my normal user, so that I didn't have to mess about with setting permissions to files for network service account (using local system won't work if you want to have network access). I just have to remember to manually stop it before upgrading so that calibre's install doesn't force me to reboot.
