svchost.exe taking 99% cpu time?

[***** charles]

Hi all,

In task manager there is a program called svchost.exe that is taking
99% of the cpu time. How do I find out which subsystem it is and
how to not load it at boot time?
svchost.exe pid=1200 user name=system

thanks,
charles.....

From Ramesh's web site: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/svchost.htm
Also: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=314056

To find out more about Svchost.exe entries try Process Explorer:
http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/ProcessExplorer.html

Once you have Process Explorer installed and running:
Click/Expand the Svchost.exe process that you are interest in.
Then highlight one of the process listed under Svchost, right click and from
the options listed select: google
This should display what out there on the web about that process.
