How to disable web services running Visual Studio

Question

I have a solution with about 10 web services and one website that calls them. All services should start when I click "start debugging", which is necessary and good. When I stop debugging, the services are still running. I can right-click on each of them in the system tray to close them, or I can close Visual Studio and they will automatically shut down. Is there a better way?

I found this SO message that says how not to start services in the first place, but I want the services to start (and even want them to continue to work more often.)

PsTools includes pskill.exe, which will kill all running processes with the given name. If you're not interested in closing web services gracefully, this might be an option.
