When started the Windows Service control panel lists all Services installed on the current computer. Double-click an entry to reveal its specific properties.

You can start, stop, pause or resume the service as appropriate. You can also modify the settings, such as the startup type (Automatic or Manual) or the log on account (on the Log On tab), etc.
