How to tell SQL Server Service Manager what instance to look at (programmatically)?

Hi everyone,

If I install a MSDE instance as the only instance on a new machine, I
usually have to tell SQL Server Service Manager what Server to look at
(Server\\Instance), then choose 'Refresh services'.

Is there a way to set this programmatically?

Thanks in advance

Jan
