On a linux machine, there are a set of startup scripts in /etc/init.d
which are linked to from /etc/rc[12345].d. Google around and you'll find
details for your particular operating-system.
On a windows machine, you can control services through the
control-panel. You can both start/stop services and control whether they
start up automatically.
If you don't know how to start/stop services, or take backups etc. then
I'd recommend getting a book on administering systems. Better to know
these things before you need to (which always seems to be 9pm Friday night).
