I plan to write a windows service to initiate all the business processing, and a Windows Forms app to do all its configuration.
Can the windows user under which the service runs be edited in code as part of the configuration?

It can be altered programatically when the service is installed. Have a look at the System.ServiceProcess.ServiceProcessInstaller class. It has properties to set the the account, username and password. You need to make an instance of this class with the correct settings and add it to the Installers collection of your custom (System.Configuration.Install.Installer) installer.
