I found a service (ControlPanel/AdminTools/Service) for a program that I've already deleted, and would like to delete it but do not know how. I am using Win XP Home (SP1).

there really is no reason to delete it as long as you set it to disabled. But if you must, delete the key from:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services
in the registry
