View Full Version : Removing F@h as a service

Back when I set up F@h as a service there was a file install that allows you to uninstall it as a service. It has a cmd extension but I cant remember the name of the file. Something like remove_service.cmd or uninstall_service.cmd.

If anyone can shoot me this file real quick I'd be appreciative.

Thanks

If you can't find it, you could always just disable the service.

Change username to "KingFish" and it'll disable it from sending wu's as "csimon" from now on. ;D

If you used instsrv.exe to install, then use "instsrv.exe FAH REMOVE".

ah yes I found that and did it. Ok it's not set up as a service anymore (not by that methods anyway) but the registry is still cull of f@h1 stuff. Oh well I'll live with it til I slipstream SP2 np.

Just Registry Crawler, search for F@H/Folding @ Home or what it's under and delete any relevant entries.

Start->Run->regedit
Goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services
Find your service and delete the entire folder.
