Excellent idea!

This is a lot better than turning off each service manually.

I'll look into setting these up as logon and logoff scripts as you
suggest here; that way it should be nearly transparent.

I see that this can only be done if the user has administrator
privileges on the PC. I normally don't like to run normal production
tasks as administrator for security reasons, but since I will not be
accessing any network while logged in as this user, I don't need to be
as concerned about hackers and viruses.

Thanks for the help.
