How to remove System Configuration Utility Services entry?

[J David Ellis]

By editing the registry I can usually remove an unwanted
entry in the Services tab. But there is one (Adobe LM
Service) is not found by a registry search. Where, besides
the registry, does SCU get its services entries?

Click Start, Run and type:

SC GetKeyName "Adobe LM Service"

You'll get the shortname for that service. (Example: Windows Installer service shortname is "MSIServer")

You can then remove the service using "SC Delete ...." command line. Type "cmd /k sc /?" to learn more about the SC.EXE command.
