Please, do me a disservice...

Shades:
In Windows it is possible to install/register your own service that in turn are added to the (already extensive) list of Windows services
(something like: blahblahserver /install,  NET START blahblahserver).

Reversing these steps also lets you unregister/uninstall services (something like: NET STOP blahblahserver, blahblahserver /uninstall)

Normally I use batch script for both steps.

Over time the batch scripts do their work without reporting an error. Taking a look with Sysinternal's Process Explorer also shows that the services are available when they need to be an not. But when I take a look at the Windows service list, the service(s) are still there. 

My question is this: does anybody here know some software to remove those 'orphan' services from the Windows service list?

Grorgy:
I got rid of one doing
Start, Run and type cmd and hit ok.
then type:
sc delete "<service name>"

And its gone on my xp home system.  I'd already disabled it.

Shades:
Unfortunately the sc command I tried already, it's error says:
"The specified service does not exist as an installed service."

I should have told that my system runs on Windows XP Professional (SP1).

Removing them manually with regedit does not work either.  :(

Carol Haynes:
Just do

SC STOP servicename
SC DELETE servicename

you don't need the uninstall step

Shades:
Sorry Carol, that doesn't do the trick either. However, it now showed a reference code so I'll guess Googling will do me some good.
