Several services states cannot be modified using a registry patch in Windows 7. These are not listed to avoid errors while applying the patch to your system.
All services that have the ability to be installed or uninstalled via Add/Remove Windows Components are not listed. This is in an effort to not break existing configurations.
I have found that the following Windows 7 Services states cannot be controlled by a registry file in normal or safe mode:
- DCOM Server Process Launcher
- Diagnostic Policy Service
- Diagnostic Service Host
- Diagnostic System Host
- Distributed Link Tracking Client
- Group Policy Client
- Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
- Security Accounts Manager
- Windows Modules Installer

Is there a “Custom Registry File Tool” for Windows 7 and if so where is it?
The tool is currently located here:

That is my failure at putting the location in a spot that is consistent due to my transition to WordPress. My apologizes.
