I have to view the Windows services often and would like to pin the "View Local Services" to the Windows 7 taskbar somehow. It doesn't work when I try to drag it from the start menu, nor can I drag a shortcut to it.
Is there another way to do this?

Yes.
Right-Click the Services icon under Start Menu->Administrative Tools, and select Pin to Taskbar from the dropdown menu.

In Administrative Tools you can right click the icon and pin it directly to the taskbar.
Or
Right click on desktop -> New shortcut
point it to services.msc and pin to taskbar.

This was different on my machine, which is Windows 8.1 Pro. Here's what I had to do to enable Administrative Tools to be shown in the metro Apps screen (as well as in the Windows search results):

Works in Windows 10, too. Open the Start Menu, start typing to search for your program, right click and pin to Start Menu or Taskbar. – Suncat2000 – 2017-02-20T18:33:12.823
Perfect! This will be helpful for other things too. – Chris Dwyer – 2009-10-01T15:28:09.850
Indeed. Note also the Pin to Start Menu item on that drop menu. And also note you can do this to about any shortcut or executable. If you right-click an executable under Windows Explorer for instance, you can select any of these two options which will generate a shortcut for you and immediately pin it. – A Dwarf – 2009-10-01T15:34:37.560
