I Appreciate your quick response, however, what I am looking for is the ability to monitor services and stop services like in the task manager in w2k/xp. Is there anything like that available?

Thats just the information I was looking for. I understand you can use HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Wi
Unfortunately not really. There are some 3rd party programs out there but I haven't used any. This one doesn't look too bad for looking at running processes:

I agree with Kenneniah on that conclusion. There is one that appears with regular monotony in .dll searches and ends up being a link to Wintasks.
I found a few well documented reviews about this and, on the face of it, it seemed in the intro that it would allow you to actually "manage" processes ie. launch AND kill.
In fact, it's really just an ebellishment of MSINFO32 in a handy package but with the option to kill processes. It doesn't let you actually launch any.
The only think I would suggest is either a batch file containing the "rundll.dll" command lines as listed in the registry under RunServices, or those quite well documented elsewhere.
There is one utility that I discovered recently named "poweroff" that is intended to allow remote shut down of networked terminals by administrators, but also has the ability to remotely launch specific applications on the terminal. I haven't looked to see whether it would accept a rundll command, but might be worth a look:
Jorgen Bosman is Belgian and, although he unfortunately is "a big fan of the Pet Shop Boys" ( http://users.pandora.be/jbosman/ ), has written a very capable application in PowerOff 3.0.1.3:

A bit cheeky, but poweroff is freeware.

You can use System Configuration Utility. Go to Start > Run and type msconfig and click OK.
Under the Startup tab, you can disable the programs.
