Description:
I'd like to modify the path to my application, but doing so breaks it because the service still points to the old location.
By going to Administrative Tools > Services you can open a properties dialog and view the Path to executable, but there is no way to change it.
Is there any way a user can modify the service path without having to reinstall the application ?

Tutorial Instructions
|
It involves editing the registry, but service information can be found in
CODE HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services.
Find the service you want to redirect, locate the ImagePath subkey and change that value.
