Help stopping services (iis ect...)

[jsundin3]

I have been working on shutting off unnecessary services in services.msc. The problem I am having is IIS will start up even though I have it on manual (thats after a reboot)......is that normal. I DO NOT want to disable it...I just want to bring it up when I want,,,(isnt that manual?!)
Thanks for any responses,........ JeffS

Manual is "not running" until required by XP. When called by XP the service then starts. it will remain started and running until no longer required.

In your case IIS is loading with XP and maybe your options are to manually stop the service after each reboot or remove IIS or part of it via Add/Remove Windows Components.

If you open up regedit and go to this key you will find the list for all services. You could try removing it from there (after backup) and return it when required.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services

You could try the following:

- Make a batch file and put the following lines in it:

@echo off
net stop IIS

- Put the batch file in your startup folder.

It will stop the service.
After "net stop" you have to place the full name of the service. I'm not sure if it is IIS.

Good luck !

inetinfo.exe is the iis service that would work. I will give it a try..........thanks JeffS
