I would like to remove a system service, please not just to disable it, I
want to remove it totally from the list of available services.
How should I preocede?
thanks in advance
 
I had a simlar reason to remove a service, becuase
diabling it didn't work. I wanted to remove windows
messenger. Disabling it didn't do the job. So I open
control panel , Add or Remove programs, add remove
windows components and deleted it there. Maybe your
service is there and you can delete it there.
 
Use caution!!!

In services take note of the "Service Name" (not display name). Then go to
Start | Run | CMD and type in: sc delete <service name>. Reboot.

Or go to Start | Run | Regedit and navigate to this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services

Locate the Service in the list. Delete it... reboot.
