Find the source of a Service

[Tom Rogers]

Is it possible to find the file(s) that a service is
dependent on? Rather than disable a service with
msconfig, I'd like to uninstall or remove the files that
place the service there in the first place.

It really depends on what service(s).
The first thing to try is using the Add/Remove capability=20
to uninstall the service(s).

--=20
Roger=20

agreed, but you could get the file name from running the
services.msc (administrator tools in control panel) or
running regedit (goto
hklm\system\currentcontrolset\services\ and searching for
the display name) then you could run depends.exe from the
support folder on the oem cd.
