I suppose you could set up a batch file to start Postgresql, create a short-cut to pg_ctl and then modify the properties of the shortcut to run as under different credentials (or use runas with a batch file). That'll require that your friend enter the password for that account every time he starts Postgresql.
Compared to that, I don't really understand follow your argument as to why installing Postgresql as a service and stopping/starting it through the service control panel such a big deal.
