Hi Bruce,

Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services

Locate the Service in the list and modify it.

If you can no longer boot into the profile/system:

Added info:

There is a resource kit utility called INSTSRVW that allows you
to remove services and install them via a GUI.
