How to restore disabled services to a non-functioning Services module?

Are the (MS Mgmt Console's) Services data stored in a data or log file
that's separate from the registry?

Following a fresh W2K Pro installation on a solo desktop machine, I
just disabled several services (that had been successfully disabled
before on a previous similar installation without ill effect). This
time, immediately experienced trouble upon rebooting, and want to
restore or modify the Services settings outside the MMC Services
module, as it's not working properly now.

I thought that Services info was stored directly in the registry, but
after restoring a full System State (including the registry) that was
backed up just prior to making the Services mods, the mods are still
retained.

I'm hoping to gain access to the Services settings outside the MMC
Services snap-in, or at least copy over a working data file from
another successful W2K installation on a separate drive. Can anyone
advise if that's possible, and what file to look for?

The problems so far encountered after rebooting:

Long pause after logging in before Desktop icons populate; CLI.exe
runs for a long time during this.

Missing several icons in the taskbar (firewall, network connection,
etc)

No icons showing in the Network & Dial-up Connections window

MS Word reporting on startup "The document could not be registered..."

MMC Services module seemingly working: list services, can sort by
Startup Type, etc. But calling up a given service's Properties fails
(no window popup); attempting to close the Services window then
continually brings up a MMC message to "Close all property pages
before closing", but no property windows are visible to close.

The services currently disabled are:

Adobe LM Service
Ati HotKey Poller
ATI Smart
Computer Browser
Fax Service
Indexing Service
Machine Debug Manager
Messenger
NetMeeting Remote Desktop Sharing
Network DDE
Network DDE DSDM
Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Locator
Remote Registry Service
Routing and Remote Access
RunAs Service
Smart Card
Smart Card Helper
TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper Service
Telnet
Uninterruptible Power Supply
Workstation
