Hi all,

I accidently set the Start Mode of RPCSS to Disable. Now
when I attempted to reset it back to Automatic, right-
clicking on the service does not bring up the popup menu.
And thru the popup menu then Properties is the only way I
know to reset the Start Mode. So now I'm stuck -- can't
reset it back to Automatic and it's causing a whole lot
other problems to me.

Can anyone show me how to reset the Start Mode back to
Automatic?

TIA.

for a description of Windows registry and how to edit the registry.
Open the registry with your favorite registry editor (regedt32, regedit
etc), go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RpcSs
The value for Start should be 2 and the type is REG_DWORD.

(A Disabled service must be first set to Manual or Automatic before it can
be started)
