Is there for my .Net application to detect if a user has logged on? It is a Windows Service, so it will be running before logon.
What I want to do is display a “popup” when a user logs on to tell them the status of the application

I think you can modify the service to allow “Service can interact with desktop” (from services control panel) then create a NotifyIcon in your service which can popup messages on specific events. Though I’m not positive if this is possible, I would google “Windows Service” coupled with “NotifyIcon”.
Addendum
Take a look at this SO article on desktop notifications. They go over the cautions of doing so, and way of making this happen (which basically eludes to building a separate application that establishes a perpetual connection that can receive updates from the service and notify accordingly).
