Assume some programs (which of cause do not belong to the "core" Win 7 system) created some services..
During deinstallation the original programs these programs do NOT cleanup their corrsponding services.
So is there a way to deinstall services later in another way?
I don't want to just disable them. I want a complete de-installation.

Peter,
You can use an Administrative command prompt to do so, for instance:
"sc delete MyService"
Will delete the service called MyService, refer to the Services Microsoft Management Console (services.msc) for a full listing and short name of the service in question.
This will unregister it as a service, but it will not delete it's binary, for that you must navigate manually to where the service resides.
I strongly recommend creating a System Restore point before doing any of this!
