I recently ran into an issue where a specific windows service **cough** oracle **cough** was really bogging down my machine. Since this particular service was not one I used on a daily basis, I set the service to start manually, rather than automatic at start up. Problem solved, however I now needed a quick way to get these services going again. Enter a batch file, with the following:

ECHO #### Starting Services... ####
ECHO ============================================================
net start <service name>
net start <service name>
net start <service name>

You can add as many services as you want, and also stop them with the net stop command. Just save that as a .bat file, and away you go.
