Hi, I found the easiest way is to stop the service and then modify the registry key -
HKLM\System\CCS\Services\TheService\Start And set the REG_DWORD to a 4. (Disabled) This certainly works for Windows 2000/XP but I am unsure of the value for NT4 machines.

Hello, I know you can use Win32::Service to stop a service but does anyone know how to change it's startup type to disabled? Or am I overlooking something.
