Removing services from Server 2000 and 2003

Recently a corrupt SilkPerformer uninstall kept me from re-installing due to the Segue Launcher Service still being present. I've never had to uninstall a Windows Service before, but there is a first time for everything. Perusing through the options that the MMC provided me, I saw no clear-cut way to uninstall the problematic service. I had to resort to Googling for it which yielded the following article from WinGuides. Their suggested fix worked well for me, on Server 2003; I was able to successfully uninstall the service. The magic is this:

1. Stop the service
2. Open the registry and navigate to:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services]
3. Delete the appropriate subkey
