  1. Where are the Services description in services.msc panel derived from in the registry?


    For mcpmanagementservice, for example, I get under description "Failed to Read Description Error 15100".Where in registry is the description field populated from? I see the service entry in registry currentcontrolset/services but do not see the description line anywhere. Is it embedded inside the service file like a DLL?

    :)

    Edit Services "Description" field


    As title suggests, I'm wondering how to edit the description of services that appear in "services.msc"... I have several programs that run as services that I know and use, but have no descriptions at all.

    Would be nice to be able to see these and immediately recognize them when viewing list of running services.

    Cheers

    Windows 7 services

    You should just know which services to set to manual, there are a ton of them, starting with xp. The time service is the first one... unless you set it up properly, just disable it. Then remote registry, I don't need anyone else messing with my registry... disable, I don't use themes, disable, there are a few others too, then things like adobe update service, not needed, disable... it's not that hard to figure out what you can disable, or at least put to manual.
    Edit: if you need suggestions, get The Ultimate Troubleshooter, not free, but it will show you how to do much of this.
