How do I change the Automatic/Manual/Disabled function?!?
Changing a Service from the "Default" to "Something else." | ||
 |  |  |
| Start --> Control Panel --> | Performance and Maintenance --> | Administrator Tools --> |
 |  |  |
| Services --> | Select "Any Service" --> (Double Click) | Select "Automatic, Manual or Disabled." |
After configuring all services, reboot to see the effects of your tweaking.
Note: Do not use msconfig to stop services. It basically is "disabling" a service. Use the above procedure and set to "manual" instead for testing purposes.
If you like, you can also do: Start --> Run --> type in services.msc --> Select OK.
For an easy method of creating multiple Service Configurations, please check out my Windows XP Services Profile Guide.

I am still on converting the entire domain over to WordPress. As such, things look a lot differently then they have for many years. Hang in there... all will be back to normal soon enough (after lots of hours on my part).
