I have installed CF8 Developer Version with Stand-Alone server on WXP. Would like to upgrade to 8.0.1. During upgrade, updater tells me I needs to shut down server and Windows services to perform upgrade. Looked around in CFIDE Admin for instructions on how to shut down. Couldn't find any.
How to do?
Thanks in advance.

    You should start or stop Coldfusion as a Windows service. You do so in the Control Panel. Navigate to Administrative Tools => Services. Right-click on Coldfusion 8 Application Server. To shut down, select Stop.
