Disable Windows Service


Recommended Posts


You can type the command at a CMD window and see its uses.

net

Yes, net.exe

As for your requirement,

net stop servicename

That 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.

Just an update..

To disable the service, the reg key is actually

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NPFMntor]
"Start"=dword:00000004

which is what I think you meant moo, but wasnt clear to me at first
