I don't know if you can actually *disable* a service
from WMI. You can certainly stop it, but the status appears
to be a read-only option.

(continues talking to self...)

In fact you *can* do this with WMI.
eg, to disable the Alerter service:

<code>
import wmi
c = wmi.WMI ()
for service in c.Win32_Service (Caption="Alerter"):
service.Change (StartMode="Disabled")

</code>
