What are the handle in the Windows Task Manager?

[John Mark Howell]

What type of handles is being referred to when you see them in the Windows
Task Manager? I have a non-GUI windows service with handles that are being
slowly accumulated until the Service finally hangs up. I can't seem to find
any source. It is a C# .Net v1.1 Windows Service using OleDb.

Can be anything. There's lots of different types. OH from support tools might help.
