I have a conflict between Apache and IIS on Windows Server 2008. They both want control over port 80; we don't use IIS for anything so I wanted to disable the service.
However I can't find it anywhere! Is this something that can be disabled? I'd rather disable than remove the feature, in case anything IS using IIS after all.
Thanks in advance

Don't just disable the service. Go to your server manager and remove the Web Server role from the machine. That will make sure something doesn't accidentally (or maliciously) start the service again for some reason. It will keep windows update from wanting to install patches for IIS (unless you install it again) and is just cleaner.
