How to remove service you do not want to have any longer. I installed
application which installed service. I do not have application any
longer now. But the service is running. I can stop it. I can set it to
manual mode, but how to take it away from the Windows.

Hi,

Running the following command in a command prompt (cmd.exe) will delete
a service (if the service is not stopped before you run the command,
you will need a reboot afterwards):

sc.exe delete [service name]

Note that you need to use the service name, and not the display name
(if they are different). Start services.msc and double-click on the
service entry to list both service name and display name.

So this will not work:
sc.exe query "Print Spooler"

but this will:
sc.exe qc Spooler
