Disable NIS

Hi Comminity,

I need to disable temporaly NIS V.20.5.0.28. I need the NIS to be completely turn-off eventhough at startup, the application must not run for a temporaly time in my Windows XP while I'm doing some upgrades.

Is there a knowledgeable person who can do me the favor to guide me to stop/disable and later on to restart it. I'll appreciate it very much if someone spare some time.

Thanks,

Alex
