Create or Delete A Service in Windows
XP
Services are added
from the Command Prompt. You need to know the actual service name as
opposed to what Microsoft calls the Display Name. For example, if
you wanted to create or delete the Help and Support service, the
name used at the Command Prompt would be "helpsvc" rather than the
Display Name of "Help and Support". The actual service name can be
obtained by typing services.msc in Run on the Start Menu and then
double clicking the Display Name of the service. Once you know the
name;
To Create A Service
- Start | Run and type cmd in the
Open: line. Click OK.
- Type: sc create <service name>
- Reboot the system
Fig. 01
To Delete A Service
- Start | Run and type cmd in the
Open: line. Click OK.
- Type: sc delete <service name>
- Reboot the system
Fig. 02
If you prefer to work
in the registry rather than through the command prompt to delete
services;
-
Click Start | Run
and type regedit in the Open: line. Click OK.
-
Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services
-
Scroll down the
left pane, locate the service name, right click it and select
Delete.
-
Reboot the system.
