Fundamental question
« on: December 07, 2007, 06:45:59 PM »
In what file is the service configuration saved in and where is it?

Reason being: I'm making a batch file to change the startup type of certain services because it's quite tedious doing it manually. I'd like the batch file to also make a backup of the original file in case anything goes wrong.

Thanks in advance, this site is an amazing resource.

Service settings are stored in the registry.
You can check these two locations for more information on creating your own service files and download defaults:
