Creating Batch file to Start and Stop the Window services

Windows  services are a very important part of windows environment. We can easily change the windows environment by stopping or starting the services, for example boost the system performance by stopping the multiple services during game playing.

Warning: Manipulating windows services can have some unwanted effects on your system. You should create a system restore point before experimenting.

We can easily changed the service state by creating batch file(.bat) having batch commands for start or stop the service. The important commands are the following-

  •  Net Stop- For stopping the service.
  • Net Start- For Starting the service.
Note:-The batch file will need to be run as administrator.

For Example, I have taken the "Print Spooler" service to start through the batch file. Service name of "Print Spooler" service is "Spooler".
