Look into the CreateService()/OpenService() and the CloseServiceHandle()/DeleteService() API calls in the windows SDK help files.

Hi,
Once wrote a component for that, it can also start/stop services on a different machine. It's very basic, but it does the trick.

unit ServiceStarter;

interface

uses
  WinSvc, Windows, Messages, SysUtils, Classes;

type
  TServiceState = (svsStopped, svsStarting, svsStopping, svsRunning, scvContinueing, svsPausing, svsPaused);

  TServiceStarter = class(TComponent)
  private
    FSCHandle: THandle;
    FState: TServiceState;
    FServiceName: string;
    FHandle: THandle;
    FMachineName: string;
    FActive: Boolean;
    procedure SetState(const Value: TServiceState);
    function GetState: TServiceState;
    procedure SetServiceName(const Value: string);
    procedure SetMachineName(const Value: string);
    function GetHandle: THandle;
    procedure SetActive(const Value: Boolean);
    procedure CloseDependendServices(Handle: THandle);
    { Private declarations }
  protected
    { Protected declarations }
    procedure CloseHandle;
    procedure CloseHandleSC;
    procedure HandleNeeded;
  public
    { Public declarations }
    destructor Destroy; override;
    property Handle: THandle read GetHandle;
  published
    { Published declarations }
    property ServiceName: string read FServiceName write SetServiceName;
    property MachineName: string read FMachineName write SetMachineName;
    property State: TServiceState read GetState write SetState;
    property Active: Boolean read FActive write SetActive;
  end;

procedure Register;

implementation
