Weird ipc-daemon services

I'm having a problem removing a couple of weird ipc-daemon services I have
on my W2K box. This MAY seem like a posting which is a duplicate to this
one (or one of the many others, but I assure you it's not!):

I have TWO services (currently, disabled) what are on my PC which I can't
seem to get rid of:

They are:

a) ipc-daemona and
b) ipc-daemonB

The "Path to executable" for both of these is:

F:\cygwin\bin\cygrun
srv.exe

I *think* these both came about from prior, unsuccessful attempts to build
Postgres on this box--which is the only reason I can think of that they'd
have such informal names.

I've tried passing the "--remove-as-service" to 'a' and 'b', but they're
not executables, so nothing happens.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what I can do to get rid of these two
services?

Is there any more information anyone needs to help diagnose this info? If
so, please let me know.

First try using the services tab in msconfig. If it doesn't work, You
may have to clean up the registry. Back up the registry, then search for
these two words and delete all the references.
HTH.
