#152 Ext2Srv cannot be stopped

[MoisheP]

OS: Windows 8.1
Issue: Though Ext2Srv.exe is started automatically, it canot be set to Manual start by the Ext2Mgr.exe, and the service cannot be stopped by the application nor by Windows Service Manger

Replication:

1. Run Ext2Fsd-0.66.exe to install the application.
2. Run Ext2Mgr.exe.
3. In the File menu, click Disable Ext2Mgr Autostart. Issue: nothing happens
4. Open Windows Services Manager.
5. Try to stop Ext2 Management Serrvice. Issue: It cannot be stopped.
6. From an Administrator Command Prompt enter

   net stop ext2srv
   The response is "The requested pause, continue, or stop is not valid for this service."

Workaround: Create batch script below and a shortcut to it, to be run as Administratot:

net start Ext2Srv
"C:\Program Files\Ext2Fsd\Ext2Mgr.exe"
taskkill /im Ext2Srv.exe /f
pause

Likely cause: Service STOP entry point is missing in service.

I ran into this issue too, but managed to kill the service through task manager.

Probem is, the running service makes is impossible to uninstall the driver.
