This is automatically the case. A service configured to auto-start will
start no matter who is logged on, and only machine admins and power users
will be able to stop the service. If your users are not members of those
groups directly or indirectly, you needn't do anything.

If they are, you CANNOT do anything, because they will always prevail.
