Problem while starting Apache/Tomcat as a NT Service

We are having a virtual folder which is mapped to a network physical folder.In this case while starting Apache/Tomcat as NT service it fails to map that folder.If we start the Tomcat as a Standalone service(using start menu) it works fine.I don't know which one is best whether starting tomcat as standalone or NT service.Provide a better solution
