Disabing a Service

If one disables a service in Administration Tools, is it normal for the
service to
still show up in task manger?

Thanks,
James

No. But you need to be more specific... like what is the service that
you disabled?

 

I disabled a service I'm trying to get information on but have been
unsuccessful
getting any info on it at all:
AGCoreService
I noticed even though it is disabled now, it still shows up in Task
Manager's Services tab as Stopped.

It shows in Task Manager's Services tab. I disabled it from Administrative
Tools|Services
and it remained disabled

James,
apart from disabling the service, you must also stop it. Disabling means
that the service will not start automatically on the next reboot. However
some services like antivirus apps have anti tamper protection that will not
allow the service to be disabled in this way. Although disabled, the service
will still show in services.msc. That's normal. The only way to remove it
from services.msc console is to uninstall the application that installed
this service.

Googling around tells me that agicoreservice.exe belongs to C:\Program
Files\AGI. Do you have this entry? If yes, please see if you can get any
clues as to what AGI is from looking in its Program Folder.

If one disables a service it should not show up in Task Manager. Are you
sure your computer is clean?

In Taskmanager where? It should not be amongst running processes under
"processes" tab, but it iwll appear amongst services under services tab,
obviously.

There's a number of services which resist disabling, e.g. in WindowsVista -
Task Scheduler. The only way for me to kill it was to delet eALL tasks
under each folder, and delete folders, etc - took me 30 minutes, I could do
dissabliung with one click in WindowsXp by stopping Task Scheduler from its
control applet. Not anymore, now it's a pain

nothing.

I'm disabling the service not mealy stopping it.
If I were stopping the service I would have said so in my original post.

You're an idiot. You also have to stop it.

 

You can't simply disable it f*&^$head?
I disabled it and it shows as being stopped.

Doesn't this Registry entry disable the Task Scheduler in Vista?

---------------------------

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Schedule]
"Start"=dword:00000001

James, in XP disabling the RPC (I think it's that one, long time ago)
service will trash the machine (It can be recovered but only with a lot
of messing around). I mention this because Disabling may result in your
losing the ability to re-enable it. Setting a service to start manually
on the other hand will allow the service to be restarted by another part
of the OS it is becomes needed.

I do not know if anything like this applies to Vista, but my advice for
the future would be to either try it on an less important machine or
else google for "Disabling the XXX service" in case there are any hidden
disasters waiting for you.

I would think that all services installed "Should" show up whether
running or not together with their status, seems to me this would be a
good thing.

 

The service in question is AGCoreServices. I did google it
and found some things about it enough to tell me it doesn't appear to
be Vista service, as far as I can tell.
I don't particularly like disabling services unless I'm sure I don't need
them.
But, in Vista I went to Administrative Tools|Services and right clicked the
service
and select properties where I was able to disable it.
But thanks, I believe the answer to my question is that all services should
show up in
task manager whether disabled or not.

Thanks,
James
