Does anyone know how to change the status of services (ie.
to manual/automatic/disabled) using the registry? Thanks

Click to expand...

That is the services "Start" type and can be found within the service's
key as a DWORD with valuename "Start"

2 = Automatic
3 = Manual
4 = Disabled

I presume you cannot use the Services mmc GUI interface.
Be careful! Registry backup always recommended.
