Changing the Startup Mode of a Service (Windows NT/2000)

All services have a setting controlling how they are started either manually, automatically or disabled. This setting can be changed through the registry.

Open your registry and file the key below.

Listed under this key are subkeys representing the devices and services on the system.

Open the subkey corresponding to the service you wish to change, and modify the value of 'Start' to equal either "2" (for automatic), "3" (for manual) or "4" (for disabled)

		(Default)	REG_SZ	(value not set)
		Start	REG_DWORD	0x00000002 (2)

	HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services
