Disable TakeControl from listening on TCP port 80

By default TeamViewer binds to TCP port 80 on the local machine. Although TakeControl does have a slightly delayed start-up to allow other processes to bind to this port first, sometimes it still overrides other slower starting services (normally web servers) from binding to the local port.

The following Automated Task script (save as VBS) can be uploaded to GFI MAX RM as a user-defined script to automatically make a registry change to prevent the TakeControl Host service from binding at all.

This shouldn't actually affect the standard TakeControl functionality.
