Sorry, that wasn't very clear.

The Services MMC snap-in, which controls services and lists all those
installed, does not have my new service listed. My service must be
registered because it stops and starts with the NET command. So how
come it doesn't show up in the Services snap-in?

I'm mystified how you can even create a service that doesn't show up
here and yet still responds to NET STOP and START commands.

There! Does that make more sense?
