   Thank you for all your help. Over the weekend I had time to comb through   
   all the suggestions and I implemented every suggestion that was made.   
      
   The task bar icon (and run command and Windows batch command and task bar   
   menu command) tests if the service is running which is helpful because I   
   don't have to know ahead of time whether it's running or not and then it   
   will either turn the service on (if it's not running) or off (if it is).   
      
   The task bar icon (and all the associated ways of running it) also does   
   nothing if it's already running and I want to turn it in (or vice versa).   
      
   There's no way a search would have found all that I ended up doing to   
   add the command in all the places that make it easy to run it later.   
      
   I don't think even fifty searches would have found everything in this   
   thread as I'd have to have known all the keywords (like app paths) first.   
      
   Only one poster pieced it all together but everyone helped and over the   
   weekend I had time off to run the tests and it's working wonderfully!   
      
   Thank you all for your help in making this work great. Happy New Year!
