Batch file to stop services fails

[donach]

Back in the good ol days of xp when I wanted to take my machine off the net and use it for music production I had a seperate hardware profile setup with lots of services (including all the networking ones) disabled. With vista I discovered microsoft had taken this ablity away. So I wrote a batch file which when run as administrator would more or less do the same thing (lots of net stop commands). Now in windows 7 I've written a new one but whenever I run it (as admin of course) a cmd window flashes up for a second & then nothing... all the services are still running. What do I do?

Click the ORB, then All Programs, Accessories, Right Mouse Click on “Command Prompt” and then “Run As Administrator”. Then you can run your script.

You need to do something like:

net stop <service name>
net stop <service name>
net stop <service name>
net stop <service name>

Simple Script to Stop Services:

@echo off
net stop spooler

That script will stop the Print Spooler service.

I hope that helps.

I'm trying to make an autoexe.bat file that will stop 2 specific Western Digital service sthat hog RAM.

I am testing out on my machine with the spooler service so that I know it works before I rill it out.

I have;

net stop spooler

which , when run in a cmd prompt as administrator says that the service has successfully stopped, however when I go to verify by openeing services.msc it still says it's running. The cmd prompt and the GUI state 2 different things!
