Good, we are making progress !

Ah ! That's good, isn't it ?
I copied and pasted the path to the "JAVA_HOME" may be that's what made the
difference this time.
Probably.
But if JAVA_HOME was pointed to the wrong path how
could it be started in a non service mode.
Probably because then, you started Tomcat using the "startup.bat"
command file, and not the parameters contained in the Registry.
It is certainly logical, but you would have to examine "startup.bat" to
find the exact reason.
Do that as an exercise, it may help.
Now "apache tomcat6" is in the
services list But can not be started.When tried to start
the message is "Error 3: The system can not find the path specified".The
"Using JVM" earlier was C:\Program
Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_14\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll and now it has become
jre\bin\server\jvm.dll.In both these locations there is a jvm.dll
In the Event Viewer under system the message was
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7000

Description:
The Apache Tomcat 6 service failed to start due to the following error:
The system cannot find the path specified.
Ok, so now we have only a path somewhere pointing to the wrong place.
But at least we know what the real problem is.

Maybe you should try them ? ;-)
When given the long command
C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.20\bin>"tomcat6.exe" //IS//%SERVICE_NAME% --StartClass
org.
apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap --StopClass
org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootst
rap --StartParams start --StopParams stop
The above command displayed a message box with a big Red X round shape
mark(What do you call it?), titled "Application System" and it's message
was nonAlpha 37
That is a new one to me, I never saw one of those.
Maybe this is still some Kasperski thing ?
Anyway, now seems the appropriate time to see what our friend the
"tomcat6w.exe" program has to say. Remember, this is the GUI program
that allows you to examine (and change) the Registry parameters that are
used by tomcat6.exe when it tries to run the JVM and Tomcat.
Look at the various tabs there, and try to find something which does not
fit.
We cannot really help you there, because of course this is only on your
system that the parameters are wrong. On our systems Tomcat starts up
fine. ;-)
For example, on my Windows XP station, I have this under the "Java" tab :
Java Virtual Machine : C:\Java6jre\bin\client\jvm.dll
Java classpath : C:\Tomcat5.5\bin\bootstrap.jar
etc..
all of these paths should be correct of course.
What do yours look like ?
Note:
By the way, this "tomcat6w.exe" program is just a kind of "registry
editor". The values you see here are the ones that you can also see
using the "regedit" program, and examining the key :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tomcat6
(but it is much safer doing this with tomcat6w.exe)
