Windows 7 shortcut for services and different services view in windows

Question

1. What is the shortcut for services in Windows 7?

2. I can get to services in two ways:

   a. Start Task manager > click on services tab
   b. Windows Explorer - Right click on 'Computer' - 'Manage' - 'Services and applications' - 'Services'

   With Option b I can start and stop the services, but with Option a - I cannot

   So what is the difference between the two? Are there shortcuts for Option b?

Answer 1

In Option1, you can start/stop services by doing right click on each service.

To create shortcut for services,

• RightClick on Desktop -> New -> Choose Shortcut.
• Type "services.msc"
• Click Next and click Finish.

Other way is, press "Win+R" and type "services.msc".

To permanently disable services,

• Press "Win+R".
• Type "msconfig". Go to Services tab.
• Uncheck the service that you want to disable.Click "Apply" and "OK".

You may want to restart your computer to take effect.
