+# Unquoted Service Paths
+
+List unquoted service paths and start, stop, or restart services as needed.
+
+Some services require administrative privileges.
+
+Tested with PowerShell v5.1.18362.752 on Windows 10 Enterprise OS (64-bit).
+
+Made for educational purposes. I hope it will help!
+
+## How to Run
+
+Open the PowerShell from [\\src\\](https://github.com/ivan-sincek/unquoted-service-paths/tree/master/src) and run the commands shown below.
+
+Set the execution policy:
+
+```pwsh
+Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
+```
+
+Run the script:
+
+```pwsh
+.\unquoted_service_paths.ps1
+```
+
+Or, run the following command from either PowerShell or Command Prompt:
+
+```pwsh
+PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -File .\unquoted_service_paths.ps1
+```
+
+To run the PowerShell encoded command, run the following command from either PowerShell or Command Prompt ([minified script](https://github.com/ivan-sincek/unquoted-service-paths/blob/master/src/unquoted_service_paths_mini.ps1)):
+
+```pwsh
