I have Apache Server 2.2 installed on my Windows 7 for dev work (so I can install php, mysql, and any other server-served items I want or need).

I have run into an issue, however, where Apache slows things down a little bit, and I am not using it all the time.

So what I want to do is not have Apache load on boot. Is there a way I can do this without reinstalling Apache (and php and mysql)? I have searched all of the Apache files for some reference to startup and can find nothing, but I may have missed it.

The only suggestion I found googling was to remove Apache monitor form the Start > Startup folder. All that did was have the monitor not start on startup, but the server still is.

Thanks for any help you can give!

Goto the Services Control Panel, doubleclick on "Apache" and set Starttype to manual.

Worked great. Figured it had to be something straightforward. I'll have to explore the Services a bit more now. Thanks!
