I am trying to turn off the spooler from within a program.
Changeing the value of the "spooler=" in WIN.INI is easy
with a WriteProfileString function, however it appears to
only change the WIN.INI file and not the environment.  
( ie the spooler still comes up when the print starts, if
the WIN.INI file started with "spooler=yes" ) I tried sending
a WM_WININICHANGE message to all windows, however that
appeared to not change anything.  Has anybody kept the
spooler from coming up from a program?

Thanks,
