A service is nothing more than a few reg entries under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\<yourkey>
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\<yourkey>
Check out the service under the key:
EventSystem
Not all of these are needed but you should get the point. Might try searching for a service that has the same type...
Once the reg entries are placed, you can use launchappex and do basically this (as you would do at the cmd prompt):
net start <Your Service Name>
net stop <Your Service Name>
May need quotes around the service name (which is the description btw) and it is a little tricky to get the quotes right in the launchappex but it works. (Use \" to get a quote inside quotes in IS.)
