Hi, Is there a way to change the properties on an already existing service with ..NET. I know that the ServiceController class can be used to perform administrative tasks such as starting or stopping a service but a need to change the properties of an already existing service: The properties are the following 1. The Startup type 2. The Log On 3. The Recovery: First failure, second failure, Subsequent failures These properties can probably changed when you create a Service from scratch with the .NET framework but in my case, the service has been written by someone else with another development environment (Delphi). Mastermo Thanks.

Framework has some nice classes for reading/writing the registry. This is where the settings you mention are stored. Take a peek. - Lee
Thanks, In Windows XP these settings seem to be under. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSetServices. I just have to check that there are at the same location with Window 2000, 2000 Server, 2003 Server.
