It looks something like this, which is pretty useless:
Figure 1 Services console default
My first move is usually to select the Standard tab and then resize the first column. Doing this every time is a hassle, so I found a way to set the default to the Standard tab and have it sized appropriately every time I open the Services console.
1- Find the Services console in Administrative Tools or as services.msc in the %SystemRoot%\system32 folder. (Usually C:\Windows\system32\services.msc)
2- Right-click and select 'Author'
3- Make the changes you desire i.e. Resize the window, change to the 'Standard' tab, resize the 'Name' column, etc.
4- Close the window, saving the changes when prompted
5- Re-open the services console either by double-clicking services.msc or selecting the menu item 'Services' from Administrative Tools and check your changes
Figure 2 Services console reconfigured
Every time you open the services console on that server in the future it will appear as you configured it. Also, you can copy services.msc from server to server if you wish.
