This example doesn't work. You cannot stop or start the “Terminal Services” service without changing the startup type and rebooting. I think you just picked a bad example. Did you try it first?

Otherwise, this is a very nice article.

Eh?

To stop the service enter the following at a cmd prompt:
net stop “Terminal Services”

To start the service enter the following at a cmd prompt:
net start “Terminal Services”

To list running services enter the following at a cmd prompt:
net start

You can also create shortcuts to perform the start and stop tasks.
