http://vbnet.mvps.org/code/network/enumservices.htm shows how to retrieve
the status for services on the local machine. That page also has a link for
enumerating services on remote machines as well. As for starting and
stopping, if the service allows such action the StartService API is used to
start it, and the ControlService is used to pause or stop it. Those I don't
currently have demos for.
