SP 52450: Enable the “HTTP SSL” service for improved internet security

Symptom: When you start the Services applet in “Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools”, the “Startup Type” setting for the “HTTP SSL” service will be set to “Disabled”.
Resolution: Modify the system registry settings to enable “Automatic” startup for the “HTTP SSL” service.
Additional Information: The “HTTP SSL” service implements the secure hypertext transfer protocol (HTTPS) for the HTTP service, using the Secure Socket Layer (SSL). It is an added security provision for sites that make use of HTTPS such as banking and e-commerce sites. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start.
