Question:

A Windows user complains that he must open the Services console everyday and start the service that he needs for a specific program because he receives a message stating that it is not running. What should the user do?

A Open the Services console, double-click the service, and on the General tab, change the startup type to Automatic.
explanation

Services will behave as you tell them to. Services can be set to Automatic in which they will automatically start when the computer starts, or to Automatic (Delayed Start) in which they will start just two minutes after the computer starts. What the user is currently doing is manual start. The Services console is where starting of the service would be set up. An event or other software might trigger the start of a service. The service is then closed when it is no longer needed.
