Hi. Everytime I boot Windows XP a number of postgres.exe services start and run in the background. As I am only an occasional user of postgresql on my laptop I was wondering how (a) I could disable the auto-start of the service on boot and (b) how to manually start/stop postgresql when needed? Thanks. Ken -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
