Oracle 9i有多个系统服务必须都启动之后才能正常工作，但逐个启动比较费事，多数学习Oracle但机器又不是太好的朋友也不能容忍每次都自动启动Oracle服务（那样512MB的内存在启动时就所剩无几了），所以通常都是要用了再启动，这里给出了批量启动windows系统服务的一个例子，介绍了操控windows系统服务的技巧：

首先新建一个Windows Application工程，取名为Oracle Starter
粘贴如下代码文件：
Form1.Designer.vb

Partial Public Class Form1

    <System.Diagnostics.DebuggerNonUserCode()> _
    Public Sub New()
        MyBase.New()

        'This call is required by the Windows Form Designer.
        InitializeComponent()

    End Sub

    'Form overrides dispose to clean up the component list.
    <System.Diagnostics.DebuggerNonUserCode()> _
    Protected Overloads Overrides Sub Dispose(ByVal disposing As Boolean)
        If disposing AndAlso components IsNot Nothing Then
            components.Dispose()
        End If
        MyBase.Dispose(disposing)
    End Sub
