4. In the right pane, double-click ImagePath.
5. In the Value data box, add quotation marks around the complete path of the executable file for the service.
   
   For example, if the path of the MyService service is C:\Program Files\MyProgram\MyService.exe, change the entry in the Value data box for the MyService service to the following
   "C:\Program Files\MyProgram\MyService.exe"
6. Click OK, and then quit Registry Editor.
