DECLARE INTEGER OpenService IN ADVAPI32.DLL ;
INTEGER hSCManager, ;
STRING @lpServiceName, ;
INTEGER dwDesiredAccess

DECLARE INTEGER StartService IN ADVAPI32.DLL ;
INTEGER hService, ;
INTEGER dwNumServiceArgs, ;
INTEGER lpServiceArgVectors


hService = OpenService(hSCM, "mcsvc", SERVICE_START + SERVICE_STOP )
StartService(hService,0 ,0 )
CloseServiceHandle(hSCM)

If possible, i will send to the UT a more complete code, starting and stopping a service.

Yours
