You mean that you want to the service manager to display status for a
certain server when it starts up?

There is a Default key in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Service
Manager
You could try playing with that one.

By the way, the Service Manager is gone in SQL 2005.
