Hi guys,

My situation is this: I'm using XP Pro with IIS at home to program and test
some local php code. I was thinking it's best to keep IIS off when I don't
need it, sometimes I go a week or two without using it; so what's the best
way to turn it off ?

Should I just Stop the Default Web Site ? Or maybe I should go to Services
and Stop the IIS Admin (which in turn also stops the default web site) ?

What do you think ?

Thanks,
Robert A.

Stop the services and set them to be manually started up, then when
you're ready to dive into it again, just start them up.  Stopping the
default just stops the default website, it doesn't disable IIS on the
machine.

Yup.

You can also use a command line to make a batch file so its a double click
to start/stop.

Use this command in a "CMD" file (plain text)

net start "NAME OF SERVICE"

net stop "NAME OF SERVICE"

Where you replace the "NAME OF SERVICE" part with the service name from
System Manager.
