Installing npm_lazy as a Windows Service

[AaronNGray]

I have been using Verdaccio https://verdaccio.org/ installed as a Windows Service. I am wondering if the same can be done for npm_lazy. I cannot find any instruction for doing this, so will experiment and report back, and mabe do a documentation pull request if I get something working properly.

Can someone verify this all works correctly then it may be added to the npm_lazy documentation.
