svchost.exe

Hello,

Svchost.exe is a generic host process name for
services that are run from dynamic-link libraries (DLLs).

Svchost.exe file is located in the %SystemRoot%\System32
folder.

At startup, Svchost.exe checks the services portion of the registry to
construct a list of services that it needs to load. There can be multiple
instances of Svchost.exe running at the same time.

Each Svchost.exe session can contain a grouping of services, so
that separate services can be run depending on how and where
Svchost.exe is started. This allows for better control and debugging.

To view the list of services that are running in Svchost:

1. From the Windows 2000 installation CD's Support\Tools folder, Extract
the Tlist.exe utility from the Support.cab file.
2. On the Start menu, click Run, and then type cmd.
3. Change folder to the location from which you extracted the Tlist.exe
utility.
4. Type tlist -s.
