You can remove any agent that runs as a network service and that appears in the Network option in Control Panel. To do this, select the agent, and then click Remove.
You can use System Policy Editor to turn off services by setting system policies or by using registry mode to modify a computer’s registry. To do this, in the computer properties, click System. Then delete the services you no longer want under the Run and Run Services policies.
You can remove some agents, such as the SNMP Agent, only by modifying the registry. For a single computer, you can do this by using either Registry Editor or System Policy Editor. The following registry keys list the services running on the computer:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
