Hello,

How could I delete a service in the Computer Management/Services option of
the Control Panel please for I try to do it pressing the del button and
nothing happens. Thank you very much indeed.

Sincerely yours,

Hi

Which particular Service did you want to disable. Some are needed by
Windows for the system to run properly. You can disable Services by typing

services.msc

from Start>Run. Scroll down to the appropriate Service, right click it then
select Stop.

Hello,

Thank you very much for your response. The services I want to delete are
the services related to the oracle database I installed and now I am unable
to uninstall unfortunately. Thank you very much again for your information.

Go to the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services
and find in its sub keys "DisplayName" value like the name of service
you want to delete. Then delete sub key that contains that name.
