How to Disable IPV6 on Local host

Apologies for previous post without a subject - hit the wrong key...

Running Vista Ultimate I have a problems where I have unbound IPV6 from all
interfaces but what appears to be happening is the on 127.0.0.1 IPV6 is
still active and port 14156 is listening on IPV6 and not IPV4 from what I
can see.

xxx.exe:5452 TCP v32:50432 localhost:14151 ESTABLISHED
xxx.exe:5452 TCPV6 v32:14156 rsysgv32:0 LISTENING

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\tcpip6\Parameters\DisabledComponents

has a value of 0xFF which means IPV6 is disabled on ALL interfaces with IPV4
preferred according to:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/com...uy/cg0506.mspx

If I have understood correctly.

Does anyone have any idea how I can stop 127.0.0.1 (localhost) from using
IPV6? The above info is output from SysInternals TCPView.

I have edited the name of the program and system for privacy purposes.

Thanks for any info/guidance
