HowTo remove service dependencies?

Hi all

I've got a w2k3 server with custom service dependencies. They were added
with the resource kit tool sc.exe (sc config "servicename" depend=
"servicename2depend")

the dependencies are now not needed anymore, and i want to remove them. But
i can't find a command within sc.exe to remove service dependencies, but only
to create them.

is there a other way to remove dependencies?
thanks for your help!

Yes, remove them from the DependOnService Value Name, a REG_MULTI_SZ data type
at HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\<ServiceKey >
