enabling a service which is disabled

[amz]

Hi!
I want to enable a service from the command prompt which is disabled in
services.msc. I don't want to go to services.msc first and then change it's
state to MANUAL and then enable it from command prompt.

Thankx!

Hi

A)
Sysinternals has a command line utility PsService.exe that can do this:

B)
You can use Microsoft's command line utility SC.exe for this.

For WinXP, SC.exe is built in. Look up SC.exe in WinXP's "Help and Support
Center".

For Win2k:

Many of the ResKit utilities, including SC.EXE are available free at:

and
