Disabling services from the command line

[BertieBigBollox]

Is there a way to do this?

I know you can start/stop services using the NET command but is there
any way to set a services startup type to be disabled from the command
line.

I'd like to write a batch script that will disable a list of services
so that I can run it on other machines to save doing it manually each
time.

sc config start=disabled should probably do it. sc.exe was
included with the Technical Resource Kit. AFAIK, it now
comes with WinXP.

The program "PsService.exe", part of the freeware PsTools Suite from
Sysinternals will do this for you. It can change other machines over
the network from a single computer.
