Why? Is XP broken now?

On Win2K, you simply set the service to be "automatic" and it would
start at boot and stop at shutdown.

Could be a problem of Windows XP Home. Microsoft has purposefully
crippled XP Home in a number of ways and it wouldn't surprise me if
services aren't really stopped at shutdown anymore.

Odds are better that you will have problems if you don't stop the
process properly. Get the service-stopping working.
