from the control panel at add and remove windows components, and you could go to the services form the admin tools to disable any service.
check microsoft.com

Karn, just use the tool INSTSRV.EXE, Find it and download it to ur SYSTEM32 folder..

Then type the command,

INSTSRV <SERVICENAME> REMOVE

Will completely remove the service... Dont forget to stop the SERVICE before you try to delete it, That will only help you...

Hope that your problem solved... If you want alternate solution, I can help you...

I will upload one EXE file, just copy it to ur SYSTEM32 folder and follow these

Goto command prompt, and use this command

ServiceEnum

Arguments:
/? Show usage
/brokenServices Show only services not in Running state but which should be
/deleteService <name> Delete the specified service
/deleteNoPrompt Delete service without prompting (for batch scripts)

Hope that your face is clear and happy...

so instsrv "servicename" remove only removes services that has been set up with instsrv.
i didn't really understood the syntax of servicesenum.exe - not sure if that can help.
an exaple would be to remove the service "remote registry" completely afetr stopping it.

@superg: thx man - from the beginning i wanted to do it with sc.exe (i also use it for changing the service description of some service). i thought it doesn't properly but the problem was, that i tested it with some broken service (reg-keys had been deleted but it still remained in "services tab".
i tryed it again with removing a running serv-u instance. worked as i wanted it.
net stop serv-u
sc delete serv-u
and it's gone (i thik forever)

thx m8
