yes my point, to simplify, is your potentially playing havoc with the kernel
and your doing something that is most definately not supported. Again, you
shouldn't be surprised when you do something that is not intended or
supported. The behaviour you are experiencing is what Iwould expect by
doing what your doing. I may be wrong, which is why I've asked MSFT to take
a look at this thread but I'm willing to bet I'm not. there is a reason the
service is, by default, not able to be controlled like other services.
