    Post Question on Disable Services spysweeper

    I was wondering is there a way to close Services Temp till i start program again?
    coz i can see that spysweeper is running two app
    1.)SpySweeperUI.exe
    2.)SpySweeper.exe <--- this is the one running services with stop button grayed.

    and i trying kill the app. on Task Manager and come with error
    The operation could not be completed. Access is denied.

    so is there a way with VB6 to Kill it?
    I saw some people have write program can kill it. but not sure if i could do with VB6.


    Thank Much

    You don't need a program for this. Just open Services from control panel. From the list select and stop the service you want to.
    Programs usually start their services they require when they are run. Anyways if it doesn't you can start them manually the same way you stopped them

    Some of the services required by windows can't be disabled. Hopefully, the one you want to disable doesn't fall in this category. Just change the Startup Type to Disabled and reboot your system. The service won't start on next boot onwards.
