Service Control

Service Control is a lightweight software application whose purpose is to help you install and configure Windows services. The program can be deployed on all Windows platforms out there.

It gives you the possibility to delete NT-based services, allows a Windows service to interact with desktop, and supports shared process types. Plus, it is able to create only Win32 services (not driver services) and uses the LocalSystem Account (predefined local account used by the service control manager).

This is a portable utility. You can take advantage of its portability status and run it on your system by opening the executable file (there’s no setup included in the process).

The tool does not store entries in your Windows registry and leave other configuration files so you can get rid of it by deleting the items that you have downloaded from the Internet. You can drop it on portable media devices and carry it with you. The settings data is actually saved on the storage device.

You are welcomed by a straightforward layout that allows you to set up the configuration parameters in a short amount of time. A help manual is not included in the package which means you need to experiment a little bit with the setup options in order to understand how the utility works.

Service Control reveals data about all available services on the target PC and provides detailed information about their status, such as name, shared process type, state, controls, exit code, check point, process ID, and flags.

What’s more, you are allowed to refresh the list with services with a single click, start or stop the selected services, as well as delete items from the list.

Installing a new service can be done by entering details about the service name, display name, description, executable file, and start type (automatic, manual, disabled), and enabling the ‘Interact with Desktop’ mode. You may edit services.

All things considered, Service Control has to offer a straightforward software solution for helping you configure Windows services, and can be tweaked by rookies and professionals alike.
