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)
