Use caution!!!

Stolen from Kelly T.....

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.

Hope this helps.  Let us know.
