[Rottie]

is that too many? or is it normal? I am running windows xp pro with sp2 and all latest updates.

Sometimes windows xp cause some pauses or delay that is annoying me since clean install last Tuesday.

IT'S NOT ENOUGH! WATCH OUT! THEY'RE CALLING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE!

go to a command prompt

use the following command: TASKLIST /SVC

You'll be able to see what each of the svchost.exe's are being run for

ok I see each svchost.exe runs by
dcomlaunch
termservice
rpcs$
audiosrv
browser
cryptsvc
dhcp
dmserver

shareaccess
shellhwdetection
srservice
themes
trkwks
w32time
winmgmt
wuauserv
dnscache

Is tasklist only in XP Pro? I have XP Home and it does not work.

OEM Home, no-go with that command.

Ok I think I found what cause windows xp pauses alot is Google desktop I had to uninstall it and it seem ok now. I hope so

I thought, what a usefull command but it will not run from cammand prompt on my xp sp2.

TASKLIST /SVC

That is the prompt from inside xp by way of start menu.

From the looks of your signature, you run XP Home, correct?
The command isn't available for XP Home.
