How to Manage a Windows Service with ServiceTray
Create a Shortcut for your Service
After installation, use ServiceTray to create a shortcut that will launch a tray icon to manage a given service:
- Run Start > All Programs > ServiceTray > Configure ServiceTray. This will bring up the "Create Shortcut" window:
- Select the service you would like to control.
- Choose the icon that you would like to show up on the taskbar.
- Select the folder where the shortcut should be saved. Specify Startup to place the shortcut in your Startup folder and have Windows start it whenever you log in;
specify Desktop to create a convenient icon that you can manually launch. Or you can enter any folder you like.
- Click the Create Shortcut >> button to create the shortcut:
- Click Done to dismiss the window
Running the Shortcut & Controlling your Service
- If you created the shortcut in Startup, Windows will start ServiceTray automatically when you log on. Otherwise, double-click on the shortcut to start it.
- A new tray icon will announce itself on the taskbar:
The icon's color will indicate the service's state. Green means running, red means stopped and yellow means transitioning (starting, stopping, etc).
- Right-click (or left-click) the icon to reveal the service's menu where you can start, stop, restart or show details of the service:
- Double-click on the icon to show the details of the service:
