re: can't start/stop services Monday, February 28, 2005 at 12:49 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by borg (2664 messages posted) Does Computer Management -> Services and Applications -> Services work? Or start -> run -> services.msc? Maybe it's that shortcut. Edit the shortcut properties and set these (if different): Target: %SystemRoot%\system32\services.msc /s Start in: %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH% Run: Normal window Description: Starts and stop services. Really important is only the target. To change the icon click "Change Icon", set the file to %SystemRoot%\system32\filemgmt.dll, first icon.
