Hi Mullin Yu,

I haven't checked this for a windows service, but the tray icon can be added with a NotifyIcon. Also, add a ContextMenu and attach it to the icon.

Hi,

Take a look at the ServiceController component. It will do the trick. From
the property windows you can select the service you want to control, take a
look at the help for further details
Cheers,
