I have to view the Windows services often and would like to pin the "View Local Services" to the Windows 7 taskbar somehow. It doesn't work when I try to drag it from the start menu, nor can I drag a shortcut to it.

Is there another way to do this?

Yes.

Right-Click the Services icon under Start Menu->Administrative Tools, and select Pin to Taskbar from the dropdown menu.

Perfect! This will be helpful for other things too. – Chris Dwyer Oct 1 '09 at 15:28
Indeed. Note also the Pin to Start Menu item on that drop menu. And also note you can do this to about any shortcut or executable. If you right-click an executable under Windows Explorer for instance, you can select any of these two options which will generate a shortcut for you and immediately pin it. – A Dwarf Oct 1 '09 at 15:34

In Administrative Tools you can right click the icon and pin it directly to the taskbar.

Or

Right click on desktop -> New shortcut

point it to services.msc and pin to taskbar.
