Question

I finished coding my website for awhile and would like to stop Apache from starting when my computer boots because it slows down my other startup applications. I have looked through the Apache Wiki, the source files, and the htaccess file. Maybe I am not finding it, but is there any way to do this without uninstalling Apache?

I am using Windows 7 as an OS.

*I just want to mention that this is different than simply stopping or starting or restarting Apache. I know how to do that. I would just like it not to start up on boot until I start working on my website again.

Thanks

Open msconfig (start->type “msconfig”->click “msconfig.exe”)

Check “Startup” tab for Apache or “Services” tab if you can’t find it, and disable it.
