Create or Delete a Service in Windows

Not growing up on Windows, I had no idea how to do this. So here it is for all those other people that don’t know how:

1.) Start, Run, regedit
2.) Navigate to HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services
3.) Find your service and you can remove it (Delete the whole key folder)

-OR-

if you don’t like messing with the registry (who really does?), then there’s a built-in command to remove and add services:
1.) Start, Run, cmd
2.) sc delete [service name], or sc create [service name]

Either way, you must reboot the system for the changes to take effect.
