Apache Friends Support Forum

Altough the checkboxes (on the control panel) are unchecked , Apache, MySQl , FileZilla start automatically on the stratup of my computer.Could anyone help how to stop it?

There is a good chance Apache, MySQL, Etc, are installed under your services. If you are running Windows 7/8 Search for services. Under the name you want to search for Apache/Apache24 and mysql/mysqld. Find these services and set them to manual or disabled. These are probably set to Automatic or (Delayed) Automatic. Do the same for FileZilla and any other services that you may have installed with XAMPP you don't want to run when you start your computer.

I'm running vista

You manage services with the Services snap-in for Microsoft Management Console (MMC). To view this snap-in, type services.msc at a command prompt. (You must have administrator privileges to gain full functionality in the Services console. Running as a standard user, you can view service settings, but you can’t start or stop most services, change the startup type, or make any other configuration changes.)

thank you Mark
