services.msc lists services. Can I open the properties box for them individually, without starting services.msc?
I would like a GUI control for windows search, but do not wish to keep the servcis.msc window open, I don't need the latter.
I would like to be able to open it either from command line (eg. as parameter to some program or dll?) or from a shortcut (eg. clsid?).
I'm on 7 but also have an xp box.

What version of windows are you on? – EBGreen – 2013-07-23T14:44:59.470
@EBGreen, windows 7, but wouldn't hurt if it would work in XP because I have an XP box too. – n611x007 – 2013-07-23T14:45:44.137
On your W7 box open a powershell prompt then type Get-Service. For the XP box install powershell then see the previous sentence. :) – EBGreen – 2013-07-23T14:47:57.823
@EBGreen Thanks! I think I can control the services from command line, with
sctoo, but I was looking for a GUI. I just don't know how to open the gui from the command line. :) I would like to keep the GUI open for my mental workflow. – n611x007 – 2013-07-23T14:54:24.843Oh, I don't think there is a gui that would show you the info for just one service from the command line. You could write your easily enough in powershell though. – EBGreen – 2013-07-23T14:56:04.133
