How to remove a service?

[Acosta]

Hi!

I installed a software that create a service in the control panel services... I have to delete the software but I couldn't uninstall. No I wonder how I can remove this services from the Workstation.

Thanks!

X-Setup 6.0 (from xteq.com) has some settings under
Startup , Windows NT/2K , AutoRun-Part 1 , Services.
Delete service is included here.

The X-setup is a cool software. I haven't tried it on a Workstation but thanks for the tip!

Bye!

Should be simple enough to edit the registry under:

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services and look for the name of the service you are wanting to remove and delete that key.

removing a service requires a utility (I found one
in a windows system programming book). Windows API has
a removeService exported function as part
of a system DLL. Calling this function from your program is the right way to delete a service.
Deleting registry keys related to service is a bad idea leading to unpredictable results.

Microsoft NT (4.0) Resource Kit has a service removal utility.
