Martijn is correct. All guardian does is restart fbserver.exe if it
shuts down abnormally. On anything more recent than win2000 you can
define recovery options like restart for a service anyway, so it is no
need to use it even for SuperServer in win2003.

The main classic process that spawns classic instances for each
connection should never crash anyway.

Just to be safe, you better flick it to disabled as well so it doesn't
start itself up again.
