Getting the status of a service
Assuming I know the name of a specific service and I want to know if it's running or if it's stopped.
Using Win32 or MFC, how can I do that ?

Try asking that question in dev-archive Forums > Visual C++ & C++ Programming > Visual C++ Programming
This is a "Non Visual" forum

Yes you can, you use QueryServiceStatusSC_HANDLE svHand = OpenSCManager(szServiceName, SERVICES_ACTIVE_DATABASE, SC_MANAGER_CONNECT);
SC_HANDLE svcHandle = OpenService(svHand , szServiceName, SERVICE_ALL_ACCESS);
SERVICE_STATUS svStatus;
BOOL bRet = QueryServiceStatus(svcHandle , &svStatus);
