There are two ways to view Services on your computer. The first is to use the MS Configuration Utility by typing msconfig.exe in the Run box accessed via the Start Menu, followed by clicking the Services tab. If you want a quick visual of which items are running or stopped.
The preferred way to make changes to services is to launch services.msc from the Run option on the Start Menu. The Services window shown below will open. From here you can stop , start or restart a service. This can be useful if you are using a MySQL, Tomcat or other services which you may want to start or stop or restart. You can just create a shortcut to the Desktop which is a easy way to access services.
