delsrv.exe in the Win2K resource kit.

There's also Autoruns.

Maybe something as simple as; "sc.exe delete servicename" would be good enough.

Also the old pserv2.exe (freeware) may be useful for this purpose. It keeps working under Windows 7.

The last version may be downloaded from here:

I'm not sure why people would go out of their way to download a 3rd party util when sc.exe which comes with the OS does this just fine (even on remote PCs). PowerShell (and vbscript/jscript) can also do this by the WMI way: enum Win32_Service, filtering on the service name, then call the Delete method on it -- in a simple one-liner:

(gwmi win32_service -filter "name='ServiceNameHere'").delete()

Obviously, sc.exe/PowerShell or whatever will have to be run elevated for it to work.

AFAIK results are the same, being the only difference a more user-friendly interface.
