So I am trying to run bitcoin daemon as a service on windows 10, so I don't have to keep starting it.
I have tried the following command:
sc create BitcoinServer binpath= "C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\daemon\bitcoind.exe -regetest" start=auto
Which creates a service, but when I try to start that, I get an error:
Is there any way to create a bitcoind regetest service?

I think you need to add -daemon to your command in order for this to work. Also, you have -regetest in your command which implies that you want to use the Regression Test network (regtest). Besides the fact that you have spelled it incorrectly (it should be -regtest), regtest is not the same as mainnet (the main Bitcoin network) and I don't think that is necessarily what you want to do. Because you have spelled it incorrectly, you will be using the mainnet.
That was a typo. Also, for some reason, I cannot run -daemon "-daemon is not allowed on this host machine" – Nate – 2017-11-01T13:57:04.370

Hmm, that's strange. Have you also tried the instructions here: https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node#windows-10 (in particular the "Start Your Node At Boot" section)?
