Category - 802: Operating Systems

Which of the following could be run from Start-Run on a Windows XP system to most quickly stop services running.
  1. CMD
  2. SERVICES.MSC
  3. MSCONFIG
  4. MSINFO32
Explanation
Answer: B - SERVICES.MSC could be run for Start-Run on a Windows XP system to most quickly stop services running.

Key Takeaway: The SERVICES.MSC command from the Run line will open the Services Plug-in in the Computer Management console (it’s a shortcut to the same place you can eventually arrive by right clicking on My Computer and selecting Manage). Although you can stop services from the command line, it will be quicker (usually) to do it from the GUI. Through MSCONFIG you can disable services upon restarting the computer, and MSINFO32 provides information on systems and options relating to collection of this data.
