Viewing visio files using draw.io

 Viewing visio files using draw.io. If you do not have Microsoft visio installed on your windows machine, you still can open and view visio diagram files. We can make use of draw.io .

Working with Windows NET services from windows command line

Deleting a windows service  Deleting a windows service from the command line is a two step process.  In the first step, we have to query& stop the service with the actual name of the service. Open the services (services.msc) and identify the name of the service that you want to delete. An example name is shown in the image given below.   Otherwise the service can be queried from the command line.    sc query | find [Service-name-to-be-deleted]    Now, run the below command to stop the service.  sc stop [Service-name-to-be-deleted]   Now , in the second step, delete the service. Execute the below command.  sc delete [Service-name-to-be-deleted]  Done, the service list maybe refreshed only after a system restart. 🚀
