Disable IIS without getting events logged?

For the version of IIS that comes with Windows 2000 Advanced Server,
what is the right way to disable the service?

I don't host a Web site on this server, so I want to disable everything
related to IIS. I don't need the service running in the background.

I went into Services and changed the startup type for IIS Admin Service
to Disabled. Apparently this isn't all that's required, since I'm
getting message in my event log. Since I don't host Web sites, I
don't know the procedure for doing this right.

The event log messages show event ID 10005 from source DCOM, user NT
Authority/System, saying:

DCOM got error "The service cannot be started, either because it is
disabled [yes, this is the reason!] or because it has no enabled devices
associated with it" attempting to start the service IISADMIN with
arguments "" in order to run the server: {A9E69610-B80D-11D0-B9B9-
00A0C922E750}

I have searched Google and eventID.Net. Google and the MS knowledge
base say to get rid of this error, enable the service. EventID.NEt
doesn't help much. The GUID in the message is for IIS Admin, I think.

Who is asking DCOM to start the IIS admin service?

How can I disable the IIS Admin service without getting these event
messages in my system log?

Thanks.

If you stop the World Wide Web Publishing Service, that should stop IIS from
running at all.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
