Printing "Services" List?

[Mackenrick]

Is there a way of printing (or saving as a .txt file) the full list of
"Services" that are listed under the Services Tab in "System Configuration"?
Thank you.

Good list, but take care in changing stuff...

I would advice to make a restore point before changing, and writing
down on paper all the changes you make so you can change them back in
the future if something is not working

I certainly agree.
The Op only asked for a services list tho`.
That was the quickest list I could think of.

Any changes MUST be recorded, or one is asking for
problems.

Thank you.

At command line:

cd %userprofile%\desktop
sc query type= service state= all > services.txt

Will give you a full list of services (file on your desktop), and their
running states, on your particular machine.

It could be handy in making an Excel sheet, to remind you of any changes you
made.

Thank you everyone for the response. All the information was useful. I
especially thank Mark and Synapse as they answered my question about how I
could get a copy of the "Services" for my computer. I just built a new
computer with Vista and this time I want to keep a running log of the
"Services" that are being added as I install each new program. That way I
will have a better idea of when certain Services were added and with which
programs thay were installed. If I run into a problem after loading a
program, I will at least have some idea of which program might be causing the
problem and which Service I may want to exclude from running. I will also
have an idea of which services go with which programs in case I feel the need
to exclude certain Services from running. I will of course keep a log book
of everything I do in case I need to change it back.

Thanks again, Mac

If you do not already know about Process Explorer, it is very handy for
finding what services, files or .dlls that a process or its threads are
using, or vice versa.
