Hi,

I have some services that have become corrupted or the program has got uninstalled.

Somehow the service name is still there in the Services.
How do i remove them.vibhor_agarwalin...exactly what is it your trying to do ?
Edit your registry?

dl65  Yes,

I has 2-3 programs which i uninstalled.
But somehow their entries are still dangling in the services control APPLET.

I think the only way to remove them is to edit the registry.
But i am unable to find that key.vibhor_agarwalin.....Do you know the name of the programs that you deleted ?
If you do ....open the registry editor and in the search box ....enter the name and click on find next .

dl65  Autoruns>Services
http://www.sysinternals.comYes i have tried that.
It keeps the name in registry in some cryptic form.
So a search isn't effective.

I will get back to you Fed after than link.

ThanksFirst open regedit as suggested.For your first search use the name of the program and search. Delete the key/string that COMES up.
Then hit F3 to continue the same search. Again delete any keys/strings that come up.
You might have to hit F3 and delete any number of times depending on the program and how invasive it is. Continue this until regedit notifies you that it has finished searching thru the registry.
Then you might also have to do this with the author/and or Company name of the SOFTWARE you are removing.

patio. Always back up reg......before playing with it........what are you trying to remove in the reg......playing with fire some people get burnt?I have tried all the options.

It has kept in some cryptic form like nos.
I have searched with name, Company, etc.

No result.Haven't you fixed this YET? Get with it vibhor.

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services
Get Autoruns, no more help for you on this.That's the main problem.

It's not there.   What's not where?The name of that service in that registry key.Autoruns.... did you?Autoruns simply starts that service at startup.

That service can't be started because its corrupted.

The name only is left in services applet.
