Yet Another Reason to Love Process Explorer — Part 1
Well, I just found another reason to love Process Explorer here: How To Identify What Programs Started svchost.exe in Windows.
This article describes how to use the command line and/or Process Explorer to find out what the hell svchost.exe is doing.
Open a command prompt and enter:
tasklist /svc /FI “IMAGENAME eq svchost.exe”
The above command will list all the svchost.exe processes and display the programs (DLL’s) that have been started by svchost.exe.
Process Explorer is part of the Microsoft Sysinternals set of utilities.
Hopefully, this will become a series of posts. We’ll see!
