Description:
In general, services item can be seen in the my computer right-click menu on the desktop and in windows explorer. Services item will open up the windows services section, through which you can start, stop or configure various system services. If this option is not visible in your my computer right-click menu or is accidentally deleted from there, you can display this item using this setting. For this, go to start > run, enter regedit and navigate to the registry path listed below. Make a new subkey under shell key by name services and change its default string value to the same name, services. Then, create a subkey command under services, and change its default string value to c:\windows\system32\mmc.exe /s c:\windows\system32\services.msc /s (where c:\ is the default drive). The changes will take effect after a restart or logoff. Note: when you use the /s flag, registry editor suppresses all messages, including indications of failed registrations. When editing the registry it is highly recommended to run a quick scan for optimization, you can test your system now for free.
