Start Service from Shortcut

Is it possible to start a service from shortcuts? I tried to copy the command
line (Path to executable:) in the services.msc but it didn't work.

Create a file called something like 'start-service.cmd' and edit it with
notepad. Add a line similar to the following:

net start "service you want to start"

Save the file.

Now when you click that file it will start the service you named.
