    I am looking for a bat file that will change a service from automatic to manual.
    This is for an XP laptop sp2.

    commands to start or stop services:
    NET START - starts the service
    NET STOP - ends the service

    Use SC.EXE to set services to auto-manual-disabled:

    sc config <servicename> start= <option>

    options

    services = auto, demand, disabled
    drivers = boot, system

    Can be entered on the Start>Run line, command window or via batch file.

    Example

    sc config BITS start= demand

    Take note of the space between red characters above.
