Stopping Apache2

Newbie has just set up Apache2 as local for development.

Set up as only for current user on port 8080 when started manually.

Problem: Starts up when PC boots and cannot stop manually.

How do I stop Apache from taking over my PC?

This ought to be simple but I can't find a solution.

You don't say what OS, but if it's Windows NT/2000/XP, type "net stop
apache" at the command line. Check the services in Computer Management
or Control Panel to make sure that's what the service is called. Also
check to make sure startup is set to manual raher than automatic, if
that's how you want it to work.
