prathapml Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 You can type the command at a CMD window and see its uses.netYes, net.exeAs for your requirement, net stop servicenameThat will do the task for that session (i.e., until the next reboot).But if you need it to be stopped even at your next session, you need to do it thru registry.
