Windows 7 computer running SQL Server Express 2008 (sp1).

When I try to run net start mssql$sqlexpress I receive an error:
System error 5 has occurred.
Access is denied

The SQL service is running under "Network Service" account

The service starts fine if I use the services window. Could somebody help me figure out why I am receiving this error?
