Simply doing a "net stop ..." will only stop the service durning your current windows session. When you reboot, the service will be started back up again.
You would really want to disable the WZC service either by going into services or if you feel really good, you can do it by command line w/ something 'like' "sc config wzcsvc start= disabled" .... I forgot the exact syntax of the command off the top of my head.

The point is, disable the service if you don't want to use it, simply stopping it will become annoying if you restart (which you're using windows, you're going to restart frequently).

edit: sc (service control) syntax is now listed correctly "sc config wzcsvc start= disabled" without the quotes of course.
