Remove an unwanted service via command line

The SC command-line tool in Windows XP/Vista which can be used to create, edit or delete Services. To delete a service, use the following command-line syntax from a Command Prompt window:

SC DELETE

for remote computers :

SC \computername DELETE

Where tag represents the short name of a service, and not its display name. For example, the short name for Automatic Updates service is wuauserv, but its display name is Automatic Updates.) To determine the short name of a service, you use the Services MMC console.
