XAMPP: FileZilla no longer as service

I installed XAMPP on my Windows Vista PC.
FileZilla is running as a service - check mark
at "Svc".

But now I want to start FileZilla
as a normal program.

How can I deinstall FileZilla as a service?
In my Windows Vista Configuration under "Services" I can only
deactivate it but not delete it.

And as a second step I want to run FileZilla as a "normal"
program (manually start and stop t with XAMPP)and no
longer as a service.

How can I do this?

You can uninstall services with the command line program
sc.exe (run as administator).

Type:
sc delete
for help.

Well, I don't have Vista, but on a Win-2000 installation of XAMPP it is
sufficient to stop FileZilla, disable the checkbox and confirm all the
dialog boxes showing up. Have you tried that?
You can start and stop FileZilla manually from the XAMPP control panel.

Thanks for answers. Services can be also deinstalled
with registry key deletion (in German:
http://www.winhelpline.info/forum/allgemein-windows-xp/1085- wie-einen-dienst-deinstallieren.html?highlight=Dienst+deinst allieren)
So I deinstalled it. But now I see that FileZilla must run
as a service. When I Click on Start I get the message
"ERROR: FileZilla FTP must be run as a Service".
So I reinstalled it as a service. :)
