Is there a way to disable SQL server 2005 from starting up automatically in
Vista? It is not listed in startup tab in MSCONFIG or on any option
screen.. But the database always loads upon bootup.. I want to start it
manually only.. how do i do this?

thanks!

Either use SQL Server Configuration Manager or the "Services" windows applet.
