  No to mention that there is no such state (actually Startup type) as
"enabled" for a service!

  "enabled" is FUD for the service not being Disabled and being in
another state, in this case Startup type Manual and Service status
Stopped.

  But "enabled" sounds nicely dangerous, doesn't it!? Evil Microsoft and
all that!

  And you have the audacity to counter that with *facts*!? Bad Winston,
bad, bad Winston!
