"Manual" really just means "started on demand", rather than "started by the user". If you really want to nobble a service, you stop it, then set it to "disabled".

I've already blocked the "Generic Host Processes" from global internet access, but I didn't want to shut it off completely if it's useful for the local network as well. ~~~)-Steven---- "I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country.
