    Hi,
    I have a Windows Service that I need to be able to stop and start in C# code.
    I can under Windows XP but on a Windows 7 machine I cannot because of security,.
    I want to do the following in code:
    Open services.msc and right click on a service and stop and start it.
    I have read up on Impersonation of a user but it seems to be impossible without passing in the username and password, which is a non-runner.

    I had this problem about two years ago and there is a way around it by registering the service in a certain but I can't remember what I did.

    I will see if I still have my notes

    Thanks, although I have since tried something; I am creating an entirely new web service and put something in the code to get it to start automatically when the OS is detected as Windows 7.

    I tried the above and it didn't work so I am completley stumped.
