jhansenjr, you must also realize that service name come in two flavors. short name as used in the registry services key and the display name.
Ths can be easily seen by using SCLIST.exe.
code:
Alerter Alerter AppMgmt Application Management aspnet_state ASP.NET State Service Ati HotKey Poller Ati HotKey Poller AutoProxyService Tyco Electronics AutoProxy Service AvSynMgr AVSync Manager BITS Background Intelligent Transfer Service Browser Computer Browser
Some methods may want the short name and others may want the long name. Some don't care.
