EPTI ask because I only need to do this once to connect to my network when my PC starts, so if I can make an .exe I'll be able to run a scheduled task to have it run whenever my computer starts. Thanks!

Correct! I already know how to turn it on and off, and when I have it set to automatic it reconfigures every... half-hour? or so, for like a minute, which is just long enough for me to get disconnected from my BW games. I've found that when I change the options to manual, and just start it when I boot up my computer, there are no more problems. I already tried microsoft support and didn't really find directions on how to design an executable for the Windows XP Services. I just need some code for a simple text-editor (like notepad) that will flip the WZC on whenever i run that code, so that I can schedule a task to run that .exe every time my machine turns on. That will solve all of my problems. :D | ||

Open a console (Run -> cmd) and inside this console type : net start "Name of the service I want to start" Similarly, to stop the service : net stop "Name of the service" Therefore, you just need to create 2 .bat using Notepad : one that makes the net start and one that makes the net stop. Just remember that you need Administrato privileges to do that and you're good to go  | ||

My problem is that I don't know how to write code for a .bat. If someone could post code that will do this for me, I'd REALLY appreciate it! Once I get my hands on code that will do that, I'll paste it into notepad and save it as a .bat. | ||

I program C++ in school (I'm turning a senior this year), and if you know anything about C++ you need a million lines of code before even opening your main() function, so that's kind of what I expected this to be like. But instead I just experimented, and saved the two following files: start.bat net start wzcsvc stop.bat net stop wzcsvc to my desktop. Then, when I run the .bat files, it brings up the command prompt (I did a bit of searching on google to figure out exactly how they work, and they're just like an .exe except they run DOS commands, same with a .cmd extension file) and then enters the code inside the file into the command prompt. Thanks a lot!!! :DD You are my hero<3 | ||
