@echo off
net start "Name of Service 1"
net start "Name of Service 2"
net start "Name of Service 3"
net start "Name of Service 4"

P.S. Please go easy with your cross-posts, especially
when asking such simple questions.

Sorry, I didnt think it was an easy question since I posted the same
question some time ago and no one had an answer!

To stop the services do I do this? or what?

Net stop "name of service" ?

Also what do you mean with service name?
See this pic: http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/9019/vmware01fw3.jpg

Do you mean the service name that is displayed here as
"VMnetDHCP" ? So I just enter that inside the quotes in your example?

Thanks

I tried it but it says "the service name is invalid"

"net stop" is correct. You can omit the double quotes for
service names consisting of a single word, e.g.

net stop server

Run the command "services.msc" to see the correct names
of your services.

Great! With your help I was able to make the batch files....THANK YOU

I dont suppose.... you know about defining time outs to
a service? Because this one VMWARE server service
when run sets the timeout for the service to 120 seconds,
resulting in a long delay when the PC tries to shutdown..

I have found a registry edit to force the services to terminate when
shutting down, but I have to run that reg file each time before I shut down
the pc...

OR do you know how I can silently add a reg file to the registry by a batch
file so I wont have to confirm the
add of the reg file each time??

Thank you for your time!

Thanks for the feedback. Use this syntax to modify the
registry silently:

regedit /s c:\YourFile.reg
