For some reason, I just needed to do something like this, so here is a quick how-to:
There is a tool named sc.exe in the Win 2K Resource Kit, however I believe it also exists in Windows XP, as I did not have to do anything, and was able to access it from command-line.
Using this tool, you can see the list of the services that are currently running, add, delete, create or stop services.
The syntax for creating a service is like this:
sc create [service name] [binPath= ]
What this command does is basically the same as the CreateService API function.
Similarly, the commands to achieve other purposes are:
sc delete
sc start
sc stop
For more information you can have a look at here.
You can also view services existing on the system or even delete them from this registry key :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services
Oh, and by the way, if; for some reason you need to get ahold of Windows 2000 Resource Kit Tools, you can get them here.

Yes that right using SC command we can manage our services in command line. Command line is very easy when we have some problem with GUI. Great sharing blog. Thanks for same.
