How to change path to executable to a service

Copied from superuser.com:

 

You can use the sc config command to change the path a service points to.

C:\>sc config YourServiceName binPath= "C:\SomeDirectory\YourFile.EXE"

This will update the service called YourServiceName and change the "Path to Executable" entry to C:\SomeDirectory\YourFile.EXE. You will want to restart your service afterwards, which you can do with:

C:\>net stop YourServiceName

C:\>net start YourServiceName

 

Note there is a required space between binpath= and the command
