All that looks ok, although I don't like the paths with spaces in them, 
but that's a personal thing.
What does the file ..\conf\logging.properties say ?

why do you do this ?

what is this option ?
(I'm just curious, I do not know it.)

why these two parameters ?
(and if you really need a 440MB heap, then set "-Xms440M -Xmx440M", it's 
more efficient).

That last one, I do not see in my logs. But I am running Tomcat 5.5, so 
it may be different.

Is there nothing at all in the Windows Event logs ?

When you start tomcat6.exe from the command line or the Explorer, it 
starts up under your current login-id.
When you start it up as a Service, the id it runs under depends of the 
Service setup.
That is a difference. Maybe it is trying to do something that is allowed 
under your user-id, and not allowed under the user-id under which it 
runs as a service.

Maybe the id under which it runs as a service, does not allow it to 
overwrite the logfiles it created when you run it under your own user-id 
? Maybe you want to make sure that you erase (or rename) *all* the 
Tomcat logfiles, and then immediately try again to run the service.

I am just guessing here, and I understand it was running before.  But 
obviously, something has changed, so the question is to find what.
What is this new software that you installed ?
Could it have changed the system PATH, so that now some module is run 
that was not run before ?
