How can I set something with WMI?

[fly]

Thanks to the Scriptomatic, I can see how to display information. However, I'm a little foggy on how to actually set information. I have the following code:

Set objLocator = WScript.CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator")
Set objServices = objLocator.ConnectServer(".", "root/CIMV2")
strWMIObjectID = "Win32_Service.Name=""Messenger"""   'Be excact here!
Set objService = objServices.Get(strWMIObjectID)
objService.ChangeStartMode "Manual"
objService.StartService

But am unsure how to convert this. I read through a couple of pages of searches for the term 'WMI', but wasn't able to figure anything out. So here I am...

$objLocator = ObjCreate("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator")
$objServices = $objLocator.ConnectServer(".", "root/CIMV2")
$strWMIObjectID = "Win32_Service.Name=""Messenger"""      ;Be excact here!
$objService = $objServices.Get($strWMIObjectID)
$objService.ChangeStartMode ("Manual")
$objService.StartService()
