(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?

Now I have to say that my Windows setup was edited by nLite (No IE or OE for me) but ohohoh, what fun I have printing and scanning with any modern HP deskjet printer/scanner combo. Not only am I appalled that IE is a requirement for scanning, the amount of clicks to get anything done has increased. When I needed an update the driver for the only deskjet printer in the house I was unpleasantly surprised that is was a whopping 135 Megabyte! (I live in Paraguay and the monthly fee for my 64 Kb/sec connection would buy me at least a 20Mb/sec connection in any other country).
), while fixing the computer from a customer of mine...it's user interface just consisted of an On/Off button and a big round knob for volume control (and the remote control did not have any more functionality!).
