Generating a quick list of services running on a machine.
Want a quick list of the services running on your Windows machine? Type the following at a command prompt:
net start > services.txt
This will dump a list of running services to a text file named services.txt in your current directory, which you can then open in Notepad by typing the following command:
notepad services.txt
