"services.msc" - Program Services Console

This section provides a quick description of the Services Console and a tutorial example on how to list all program services.

You can start the Services Console from the Control Panel area by clicking "Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services".

Or you can start the Services Console from the Run dialog box by clicking "Start > Run", typing in "services.msc", then clicking "OK".

When the Services Console is started, you will see a list of all program services as shown in this picture:
