Service Control 0.0.0.3 - My FARR2 Plugin Contest Submission #3

Service Control 0.0.0.3
This plugin displays a list of win32 services and allows user to toggle its running state. Th idea came from OGroeger and Mouser (See this thead: HERE)
A few things of note are:
0) Only works on NT/2K/XP for now
1) Only works if user is a member of the Administrator group - EDIT: also works on Vista now
2) If a service is currently disabled, it enables it before starting.
3) If a service has dependency services, it shows you the list of services that will also get stopped.
Depending on interest, I have some TODOs:
* add progress bar when start/stop services - DONE
* Vista compatibility (thinking of using ShellExecuteEx with "runas" verb to launch a separate script, or separate the code into a separate COM control so it could be elevated Just-In-Time) - DONE
* ability to run as standard user with admin impersonation
Installation:
Extract the zip file to the farr2 plugins directory then reload the plugins from the plugins listing screen.

What I would like to suggest is a right click context menu which allows the following:
Starting a service, Stopping a service, restarting a service, changing startup type (with a sub-context menu containing a list of startup types).
