>Under the Services branch of the tree, you can set a number of properies for a specific service. Can this be done in code or through the registry? Thanks!

Well, instead of waiting for your answer of what properties you want to change, I'll give you generics

The Service has a Change method that allows to change this properties (from the help)


uint32 Change(
string DisplayName,
string PathName,
uint32 ServiceType,
uint32 ErrorControl,
string StartMode,
boolean DesktopInteract,
string StartName,
string StartPassword,
string LoadOrderGroup,
string LoadOrderGroupDependencies,
string ServiceDependencies
);


So let's say you want to change the StartMode to be Automatic, you do:

lcService			= 'FoxServiceTest'
loLocator			= createObject("wbemScripting.SwbemLocator")
loWMI				= loLocator.ConnectServer()
loService			= loWMI.Get("Win32_Service.Name='" + lcService + "'")
with loService
	.Change(, , , , 'Automatic')
	? .StartMode
endwith

If you check Computer Management (you need to refresh first F5) you'll see it changed to automatic, and you can change all the properties listed in that method easily, but for the ones that are not there, you should be able to do the following, but keep in mind it does not work for all properties, for example it does not work for description although it will seem at first it succeeded (and is also generic for any property of an instance of a WMI Class

* Assuming the previous code is still valid
with loService
	.Description		= 'New Description'
	.Caption		= 'New Caption'
	.Put_()
	? .Description, .Caption && Do not be fooled by this, it did not work
endwith

Of course with this same code you can start, stop, pause, resume etc the service, using the appropriate methods, you can see all of this here
