That checkbox is only available when you are running as local system.  In
order to get the service to start reliably I had to switch the service to
run as a particular user (chown wasn't working for some reason, couldn't
change ownership of files necessary to get ssh service working, so changed
service to run as owner of files (me.)  So, if you think that running as
local system with interact with desktop will work then I need to go back
to the drawing board and get that working.

Thanks
