What exact dll is svchost.exe hosting?

[Maxwell2006]

Hi,



I know that tasklist /svc shows the name of services that svchost.exe
serves. How can find the name and the path of the dll that is being hosted
by svchost.exe?



Thank you,

Max

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:
In the taskbar select View and check 'Show Process Tree' and 'Show Lower
Pane' options.
(This will provide the detailed info you need)
Next 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.

Note: DLL files are displayed in the lower half of Process Explorer

Double click on the process(s), reading it's image and command line
