xtranophilist Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Is it possible to enable or start a disabled local windows service from command prompt in Windows XP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeFiend Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 To set a service's startup type, use sc.exe (one of the many underrated built-in tools):sc config servicename start= auto(don't forget the space after the equal sign)That's assuming you want it set to auto, for manual, use "demand" instead of "auto"As for starting a service, there's 2 common ways:net start servicenameorsc start servicenameSuch things are also very easily scripted (especially using PowerShell), and there's tons of 3rd party utils for this kind of stuff too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
