Disabled Service Reverts to Automatic
I've changed a few of my Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit services Startup Type from "Automatic" to either "Manual" or "Disabled" based on the "safe" recommendations at Black Viper's site. The changes have been successful with one exception. Note: This is my home PC, I am the sole user and administrator and this machine is not part of any network nor is it used for any peer-to-peer computer communication.
I've changed the "IKE and AuthIP IPsec Keying Modules" service Startup Type from Automatic to Disabled. However when the PC is subsequently started from a cold boot or a restart this service always reverts to a Startup Type of Automatic. There are no other services dependent upon this service. I've made multiple attempts with the same result. How can I determine what is causing the reversion from Disabled to Automatic? Is there a Windows log or a 3rd party tool that can isolate the culprit?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
