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?
A) go into Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Managment -> Services, find the postgresql service, and set its start type to 'manual'
B) either, go to the same place above, and right click->start (or stop), or at a command line shell prompt run the commands
