How to start, stop, pause, resume, or restart a service in XP

Note You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group to complete this procedure. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may also prevent you from completing this procedure.
1. Click Start, click Control Panel, click Performance and Maintenance, click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Services.
2. In the Details pane, click the service.
3. On the Action menu, click Start, Stop, Pause, Resume, or Restart.
4. To configure the startup parameters for a service, right-click the service, click Properties, and then type the parameters in the Start parameters box before you click Start. These settings are used only once and are not saved. A backslash character (\) is treated as an escape character; type two backslashes for each backslash in a parameter.
Notes
If you stop, start, or restart a service, any dependent services are also affected.
Changing the default service settings might prevent key services from running correctly. Use caution when you change the Startup Type and Log On As settings for services that are configured to start automatically.
