Svchost.exe Processes, If you want to quickly uncover

Win XP Pro only..................
When you're troubleshooting Win XP problems, one of the tools you likely use is the Windows Task Manager. By design, Task Manager provides detailed information about the programs and processes that are running on a system.

When you first launch Task Manager (by pressing [Ctrl][Alt][Delete] and clicking the Task Manager button), it opens to the Applications tab, which shows you a list of all of the currently running applications. However, switching to the Processes tab shows that there are many more processes running than there are applications.
One of the processes that you'll find in this list is Svchost.exe. In fact, you'll likely see several Svchost.exe processes listed.

Svchost.exe is a generic host process name for services run from dynamic link libraries (DLLs). If you want to quickly uncover which services are running under each of the Svchost.exe processes, you can use a command-line utility called Task List, along with one of its special parameters.
Follow these steps:
Open a command prompt.

If you want to use this regularly you could make a shortcut on your desktop or in your start menu, with this startup command:

cmd /k c:\windows\system32\startlist /svc

This will ensure that the command windows doesn’t close down on you when the command has run.
