📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses how to prevent IIS 7.5 from starting automatically on Windows 7, as the original poster needs it occasionally for ASP editing but finds its automatic start inconvenient when testing PHP and MySQL sites. The initial suggestion is to disable IIS through Windows features, which is effective but considered too drastic by the poster, prompting the search for a more convenient method. A later user offers a quick tip involving Windows Services management, implying that adjusting the IIS service settings might provide a less disruptive solution.

I write web sites in PHP and MySQL, and use an Apache web server for testing my sites.
To do this I have to stop the IIS 7.5 server that runs on start up. I have been unable to find a way to prevent it starting up since I moved to windows 7, and having to stop it 2 or three times daily is becoming a pain. I cannot remove the program as I need it for occasional asp site editing.
Can anyone tell me how to prevent it starting?
