Method 3: Using Autoruns

If your edition of Windows XP or Windows Vista does not ship with SC.exe console tool, then may have to edit the registry manually, or use a software utility such as Autoruns. Autoruns is a must-have tool which helps you manage Windows startup, services, drivers, Winsock providers, Internet Explorer add-ons, Shell extensions and much more… Download Autoruns and run it. From the Options tab, tick Hide Microsoft Entries, so that only the third-party entries are listed. This make it easy for you to spot a third-party driver or Service. Press F5 to refresh the listing. Click the Services tab and you can remove unwanted drivers and Services from there.
