BAT file to start/stop services

[Guest]

I would like to create a BAT file to set the three following services
to AUTOMATIC. I would also like to create another BAT file to
DISABLE them.

Automatic Updates
Background Intelligent Transser Service
Windows Installer

Are there line commands to start/stop and set the local services
which I could use?

Net Start Service_you_want started
Net Stop Service_your want stopped

Example: I want to start Removable Storage
net start "removable storage"

That will start or stop, but not disable the service.

I, too, would really like to know how to disable and set services to automatic from the command line.

You need the program sc.exe from the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit tools (download from here). This link gives you details of how to use the command.
