OracleServices not affecting Database Shutdown/Startup

Hi,

1)

Why isn't RIV1 database shutdown when OracleServiceRIV1 is shutdown (OracleServiceRIV1 is available under Services under Administrative Tools, Control Panel in Windows).

2)

Also, when I shutdown the database RIV1, the OracleServiceRIV1 remains open, unaffected!!

In REGEDIT, both are defaulted to true, clean install, no changes.

OVR_RIV1_AUTOSTART=TRUE

OVR_RIV1_SHUTDOWN=TRUE

64bit Oracle 11.2.0.1, Windows 7 Enterprise.

After service was shutdown, I could still connect to database as sysdba or sysetm and: select name from v$database; returns "RIV1" result. Moreover, the opposite is true too, shutting down database did not affect service in the slightest.

Has anyone had this problem before? Or is it just oracle making bugs?
