Degan, > On Windows 2000, you can open the Services Manager window as follows:

MySQL and mysqld2 still > appear in the services list.) I had the same kind of problem before. I don't know why that is so, but Windows doesn't provide a remove option in the Services Manager window. You can, however, edit the properties of a service and set it to "Disabled". After re-booting the system, that service should have gone. If it's still there, you can only remove it by hacking the Windows registry (Start > Run > regedit), looking for "mysql..." entries, delete them, and reboot. Maybe there's a more proper way of doing this, and if someone on this list knows, I'd be interested in how that would look like. (And, yes, I can hear all you Unix guys on this list chuckling.)
