Re: Convert bat to exe with icon using batch

I'm sorry- what do you mean by internal commands?

If you mean through command line, you can get BAT2EXE command line version...

Re: Starting and Stopping Services in Windows

I found this out last night. It took me 2 minutes to understand, so its not that hard.

'Net Start <service name>'
or
'Net Stop <service name>'

I hope you can get your head around this, if not, good luck.
