Jito463 Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 It allows you to share your drives (CD/DVD-ROM/RW) over the network so another computer can use them as if they were local to that PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tim Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 what is the starwind service? what perpose does it serve?It allows Hard Drives and CD/DVD drives to be used remotely.The big difference is that the remote machine can WRITE to a CD/DVD-RW drive in another machine.Normal windows sharing only allows reading from CD/DVD drives.These are the guys that make the software : http://www.rocketdivision.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stargateok Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 (edited) For those installing the newly released Alcohol 120% v1.9.5.3105add this reg tweak after installing the application to eliminate the starwind service.[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\StarWindService]if you wish to delete the starwind folder.. go for it alsoSharkPlease excuse my ignorance, but how is this input. Putting it in a "reg" file and inputting doesn't work. Do you have to remove the brackets? Edited May 1, 2006 by stargateok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmeades Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 (edited) Adding the registry key[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\StarWindService] is not a solution, as this key already exists and is loaded with values when the StarWindService is installed. This instruction does not provide any modifications to the settings which already exist ("Start" value is set to 2 upon install), and is therefore not a solution on machines where this key already exists.I'm surprised no one on any forum I've been to has come up with the easiest solution of all - Stop and Disable the service.To Stop and Disable the service on Windows XP - 1. Go to Start/My Computer - Right Click and choose "manage"2. Expand "Services and Aplications"3. Click on "Services"4. Locate "StarWindService" on right panel5. Right Click and select "Stop"6. Right Click and select "Properties"7. Change "Automatic" to "Disable"Done. Edited August 12, 2011 by gmeades Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
