I recently upgraded to Windows XP with a new knowledge that my (wireless) dwl-120 was a compatible version with it.
However im an avid gamer and right now my virtual life is spent bouncing around on World of Warcraft. After finishing the install and updates etc. etc. I found an extremely annoying problem. The service 'Wireless Zero Configuration' that searches for availble wirless networks every few moments creates unwanted lag. Simple enough problem to fix, just stop the service.

When I reboot the computer I have to have this service run inorder to find my own network, but ive got to turn it off after it finds it to stop my game lag. So (finally) I get to my question. Is there a way that I could have a batch file run that turns this service off after 5-10 seconds?
