Disabing a Service

If one disables a service in Administration Tools, is it normal for the
service to
still show up in task manger?

Thanks,
James

No. But you need to be more specific... like what is the service that
you disabled?

I disabled a service I'm trying to get information on but have been
unsuccessful
getting any info on it at all:
AGCoreService
I noticed even though it is disabled now, it still shows up in Task
Manager's Services tab as Stopped.

It shows in Task Manager's Services tab. I disabled it from Administrative
Tools|Services
and it remained disabled

James,
apart from disabling the service, you must also stop it. Disabling means
that the service will not start automatically on the next reboot. However
some services like antivirus apps have anti tamper protection that will not
allow the service to be disabled in this way. Although disabled, the service
will still show in services.msc. That's normal. The only way to remove it
from services.msc console is to uninstall the application that installed
this service.

Googling around tells me that agicoreservice.exe belongs to C:\Program
Files\AGI. Do you have this entry? If yes, please see if you can get any
clues as to what AGI is from looking in its Program Folder.

If one disables a service it should not show up in Task Manager. Are you
sure your computer is clean?

In Taskmanager where? It should not be amongst running processes under
"processes" tab, but it iwll appear amongst services under services tab,
obviously.

There's a number of services which resist disabling, e.g. in WindowsVista -
Task Scheduler. The only way for me to kill it was to delet eALL tasks
under each folder, and delete folders, etc - took me 30 minutes, I could do
dissabliung with one click in WindowsXp by stopping Task Scheduler from its
control applet. Not anymore, now it's a pain

DUH!!!!

All stopped services show up as "stopped" in Task Manager.

nothing.
