How do we turn on the print spooler service?

How do you programmatically turn off the Windows XP Print Spooler service in C#

• I need to write a small console app (patch) that turns off the print spooler service, does a few things, then starts the print spooler service. I'd like to write this in C#. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance!

• Answer:

  You can probably do that using the ServiceController class : ServiceController controller = new ServiceController("Spooler"); controller.Stop(); ... controller.Start();
