What service?

Why not disable the service instead?

Open Services...
Start | Run | Type: services.msc | Click OK |
Scroll down to and double click the service you want to disable |
Set the startup type to Disabled | Click the Stop button |
When service has stopped | Click Apply | Click OK | Close
Services

You may have to reboot before the service is actually stopped.

To delete a service.

Open Services...
Start | Run | Type: services.msc | Click OK |
Scroll down to and double click the service you want to get rid of |
Take note of the Service Name (not the Display Name) | Close Services

Then open a command prompt...
Start | Run | Type: cmd | Click OK |

Type: sc delete Whateverservice

and hit Enter

Reboot.

Or open the Registry Editor...
Start | Run | Type: regedit | Click OK |
Navigate to...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Whateverservice

Delete it and reboot.

Additional note:

First, use the "SC DELETE <...>" Command-line, or follow the instructions to
remove a Service / driver from the registry directly. Type "CMD /K SC /?" in
Start, Run. If you want to remove a service manually from the registry, read
below:

The Service and driver entries are present under this registry key:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es]

Each sub-key represents a driver or a Service. To modify/delete a 3rd party
service, click Start, Run and type REGEDIT to open the Registry Editor and
navigate to the above location.You should be able to identify them easily by
reading the "DisplayName" and "ImagePath" fields in the right-pane in the
Registry Editor.

Note: Before modifying / removing a Service, create a System Restore point
or a complete Registry backup, just in case something happens.
