Give regular user right to start/stop service in Windows 7

1. Download and install SubInACL.exe
2. run "C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\subinacl" /service Spooler /grant=<username>=TO

SubInACL works on Windows 7.
The T grant parameter is for start service access and the O parameter is stop service access.
Now <username> can:

• run sc stop Spooler and sc start Spooler
• run net stop "Print Spooler" and net start "Print Spooler"
• use the Restart button on the Print Spooler item in services.msc
