And I'm just astonished that after years of searching, you managed to

Right. Last time I looked at Tcl extensions, I couldn't make any use of

Mmm. The fun thing about srvany.exe is that stopping the service

But usually they aren't.

"Hey Andrew, I've disabled roaming profiles. We don't need them."

That's not a request. That's not even "I think we _should_ do this". 
That's "I just _did_ this".
