| I know that Module win32service has some functions on manipulating
| win32 services.
| But I still have 2 questions:
| 1. how to enumerate all services?
| 2. how to disable a certain one?

You can use WMI to do this if you want.

Have a look at this example:

http://tgolden.sc.sabren.com/python/wmi_cookbook.html#automatic_services

and then at the Win32_Service WMI class:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wmisdk/
wmi/win32_service.asp

and in particular at the StartService method
