Update: I found a script that turns off Telnet, as follows:

'Pure VBScript (RegWrite)

'This can be be done by writing a DWORD with valuedata 4 to the value
"Start"
'under
'HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\<service>

Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
' Set the Telnet service to disabled (4)
oShell.RegWrite "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TlntSvr\Start", _
                 4, "REG_DWORD"

So I guess all I need to find is the names for the Remote Registry and
File and Print Sharing services.

Tips on turning on the ICF still appreciated.
