In general, a service application can only run as a service. The service has to be written in a special manner to run both as a service and a typical application.

You may want to simply change the startup property of all the Oracle services to "manual". Then code a batch file to "net start" them all. At least that way you can avoid starting Oracle each time you start your machine.

Also, the only service you are required to start is the OracleServiceSID, where SID is the name of your Oracle instance. The other services add features such as networking, monitoring, etc. If you don't need those features, you don't have to start the services.
