What does 'sc' mean? I've always used 'net stop' to stop a service from
running and 'net start' to start it running again.
Example; net stop "Messenger" /Y
net start "Messenger" /Y

I am sure there are Microsoft sites on technet that explain it just as
well.

SC.EXE does more extensve work with NT Services. NET.EXE can only stop or start a
service. It can't change the configuration or delete a service.

Thanks, now I know what to do the next time some app that installs a
service doesn't uninstall cleanly and want the service removed that was
left behind. I create .bat files for services that I don't want or need
running all the time because I have a couple of them that think they
should be loaded all the time when there is no need for it. I have this
game called ARCA and it loads a DRM service into memory all the time and
I hardly ever run the game so use net stop/start to load/unload when I
need it only.
