It is not something that comes with Vista (even if you are sharing).

One note: it is my WORK computer.

To the best of my knowledge, I am not running SQLS2. I assume that it is an OS? (Sorry - I am a PC neophyte)

Would love to! (I use a Mac at home.)

Boss wanted to upgrade to Vista because more than 5 people can connect to Shared Docs at a time (see OP).

Thanks for the link. I will try that tomorrow.

It's a database engine. It may very well be running. Hit "ctrl-shift-esc" to bring up the task manager then click on "Processes". Look for processes named something like "sql server".

If it IS running, how can I make it NOT run (besides force-quitting in the Task Manager every day)?

If it's running, that likely means something needs it, I wouldn't suggest killing it.
