I have Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition. When I go to create a new project, I do not see the Windows Service template.
A) Can I download this from somewhere?
B) Do I need to?

File->New->Web Site
Select ASP.Net Web Service from dialog.

When you pick new project, click on the language (C# or VB) then expand the options and select Windows (all this on the new Project dialog). When you do that the option for a Windows service shows up.

That's the problem. It doesn't show up there. I have Standard Edition, if that has anything to do with it.
Here are the options under Visual C# -> Windows:
-Windows Application
- Windows Control Library
- Console Applicatoin
- Class Library
- Web Control Library
- Empty Project

Make it so
Are you able to do "Add -> Component... -> Windows Service" in an existing project? If so, I think you could create a console application as a starting point, add a Windows Service Component (e.g. named Service1) and do something like this in the Main method:
using System.ServiceProcess;
...
ServiceBase serviceToRun = new ServiceBase { new Service1() };
ServiceBase.Run( serviceToRun );
