Yes, service parameters are stored in the registry at;
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services
You might try restoring the system hive in effect at time of installation stored at;
To use the original-as-installed system hive copy
%systemroot%\repair\system
to
%systemroot%\system32\config\system
You'll need to reinstall the device drivers for any hardware added since the original OS install.
To start the Recovery Console, start the computer from the Windows 2000 Setup CD or the Windows 2000 Setup floppy disks. If you do not have Setup floppy disks and your computer cannot start from the Windows 2000 Setup CD, use another Windows 2000-based computer to create the Setup floppy disks. At the "Welcome to Setup" screen. Press F10 or R to repair a Windows 2000 installation, and then press C to use the Recovery Console. The Recovery Console then prompts you for the administrator password. If you do not have the correct password, Recovery Console does not allow access to the computer. If an incorrect password is entered three times, the Recovery Console quits and restarts the computer. Note If the registry is corrupted or missing or no valid installations are found, the Recovery Console starts in the root of the startup volume without requiring a password. You cannot access any folders, but you can carry out commands such as chkdsk, fixboot, and fixmbr for limited disk repairs. Once the password has been validated, you have full access to the Recovery Console, but limited access to the hard disk. You can only access the following folders on your computer: drive root, %systemroot% or %windir%

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
