How to display the real service name?

This question concerns all Win NT platforms in general.

In "Administrative Tools" > "Service" console, we have five columns (Name,
Description, Status, Startup Type, Log On As)

However, the Name column doesn't display the *real* service name. It just
displays service "Display name" (ie a label). For example, "Remote Procedure
Call (RPC)" is actually called RpcSs, and this name is identical no matter
what UI language is used.

I supports users in different languages (English and French), and it's hard
for me to tell them what service to check unless I have the same language
version under my eyes. And I have to tell my users to check on EVERY service
to display the real name. This is very tedious!

So, my question is very simple. Is there a method to add a column in the
console to display the REAL service name?

No you cannot ; however, you should try Service+ from Active+
Software.
It is a great tool that let you see the service name and many other
service properties.
