Start and Stop ColdFusion and othe services.

One of those little nuggets that I picked up at the adobe conference was leaving services you don't always use stopped until you need them. Like coldfusion for instance. I will get developing and use coldfusion locally for development for days at a time. But, I don't always use it, so there is no need for it to be running if I am not using it.

Quick search and I found this: Batch files for Starting and Stopping ColdFusion.

In Vista I had to use "Run as Administrator" for those to work, but they did work like a charm. Took a long time on the main CF service the first time, but it did eventually work.
