Bulk edit TopView Services

Bulk edit TopView Services

TopView provides a command line tool called the "TopView Service Manager" (tvservicemgr.exe) to query and manipulate the settings for TopView services.

This tool is useful when you want to list, remove, or install services with common settings for each service.

The TopView Service Manager can be used to perform bulk operations on TopView Engine Services when doing the same tasks from the Configurator would be tedious.
