war59312 Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 To delete the service simply run:sc delete SCardSvrWARNING: No going back, so backup first if you change your mind. This completely deletes the service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCobra Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Just disable those that you don't use. There may come a day when you need certain functionality and can't use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

war59312 Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 (edited) Open regedit and check permissions on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SCardSvr .What functionality do you loose when it is deleted?Not a clue!Just disable those that you don't use. There may come a day when you need certain functionality and can't use it.Thats what I would recommand, but that is not what the OP asked for...
