context-menu

I want to add services.msc into Win+X context menu in windows 8 (x64). I know similar question is in here but it's not good with using Win+X Editor, because it doesn't add Underlined key for shortcuts that added with that and it's not good without having quickly underlined key. I want do that for maually

Context menu folder is: C:\Users\User_Name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WinX

And hide desktop.ini files is as bellows (in ...\WinX\group2\desktop.ini)

[LocalizedFileNames]
1 - Run.lnk=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-12710
4 - Control Panel.lnk=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-4161
5 - Task Manager.lnk=@%SystemRoot%\system32\authui.dll,-12139
3 - Windows Explorer.lnk=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-22067
2 - Search.lnk=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-30517

I copied sevices.msc shortcut into above path in group2 folder and add this line 6 - Sevices.lnk=@%SystemRoot%\system32\sevices.msc,????? in desktop.ini file.

First Question: I don't know If this line
6 - Sevices.lnk=@%SystemRoot%\system32\sevices.msc,-????? that I added is correct or not? Also I don't know what to use instead of -?????

Last Question: Why desktop.ini contents is not Sorted. I triyed to manually sort them but when I restart Explorer again it was become out of order.Why?
