Hi,

I'm looking for a program can start and stop services, so I don't have to be
so deep in my OS to do so

Thanks

A couple of suggestions:

1) Create a shortcut on your desktop for the services page.

2) You can start and stop services from the command line using the
"net start" and "net stop" commands. (If you know the service name, of
course.) You can write one-line batch files to start and stop the
services you want to control, then create shortcuts to those batch
files.

I'm not sure if this covers all of what you want
starter http://codestuff.cjb.net/

As a primary purpose, Starter allows one to view and manage all the
programs that are starting automatically whenever operating system is
loading. It enumerates all the hidden registry entries, startup folders'
items and some of the initialization files, so that the user could
choose to temporarily disable selected entries, edit them, create new,
or delete them permanently.

Secondary purpose is to list all the running processes with possibility
to view extended process' information (such as used DLLs, memory usage,
thread count, priorities etc.), and to terminate selected process (even
a Windows NT service, having enough access rights).

Try ServiWin at http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/index.html

It is a stand alone program that does not need any installation,
just copy the three files to any directory you want. You only
need the exe file to use it though. I use this on my computer
all the time and would not be without it.

ServiWin utility displays the list of installed drivers and services
on your system. For some of them, additional useful information
is displayed: file description, version, product name, company that
created the driver file, and more. In addition, ServiWin allows you
to easily stop, start, restart, pause, and continue service or driver,
change the startup type of service or driver (automatic, manual,
disabled, boot or system), save the list of services and drivers to
file, or view HTML report of installed services/drivers in your
default browser.

Thanks for this but:

Could you indicate how to use net start ?

assume the service is called dot4usb

what would be the command to start and stop ?

Like most command line commands, you can use the /? option to get more
information. For Net start, you would type from the command line:

net start /?

For this command, it doesn't say much, just:

NET START [service]

Thus, for your example, the commands would be:

net start dot4usb
net stop dot4sub

A caution, the names of most services are more than one word, so you
need to enclose them in quote marks. For example,

net start "Task Scheduler"
