Unless Emacs is a service and can be started as such, you cannot do
this on Windows (AFAIK) without logging in as one of the users defined
on the particular machine.
Someone else wrote in this thread what I think is the main goal of the
daemon mode: be detached from the process group and so don't get
killed when the user logs out. And I think this is impossible on
Windows for a normal (non-service) process.
