Believe me, it is many times easier to click the STOP SERVICE button than try to write stop service code using something like VB.

So have him click the START and STOP services button. Set the Oracle Services to MANUAL which means that it will not start by default when the machine is booted.

If Oracle is to be use for colledge assignments, then the student should damn well know how to start and stop Oracle services using Service Manager.
