Is this possible

Hi,
Is it possible to hide an instance of SQL Server so that it doesn't show up
when you open Ent Manager or SQL Query Analyser?
Thanks
Using the Server Network Utility, you can check the 'hide server' box under
the network protocol properties.
Hope this helps.

|||Why do you want to do that? You could stop the service if you would like to.
