A. You typically use the Services GUI in Windows to configure a services start-up type, but you can also use the SC command to set the start-up type from the command line:
sc config start=
For example,
sc config tlntsvr start=auto
automatically starts the tlntsvr service when you boot the system.
The start options are
auto--a service automatically started at boot time, even if no user logs on
boot--a device driver loaded by the boot loader
demand--a service that must be manually started (the default)
disabled--a service that can't be started
system--a service started during kernel initialization
