DDE Server Windows 2003 Server Problem

[Ebola]

DDE Server is hanging on shutdown. I'm not exactly sure what this is but I think it might control sharing. If anyone knows a fix let me know.

Unless you're using DDE applications or using DDE data links for maintaining remote data links or remote sharing through ClipBook, Network DDE and Network DDE DSDM can be disabled. Clipbook can also be disabled, if not being used. The only sharing that DDE typically interacts with is dynamically updated information like stock quotes or sports scores. If you want a failsafe setting, set the services to manual and likely they will never be used.
