Recently, an individual going by the moniker 'hi' posted a comment to Setting the Priority of a Service Process via Script:
How would I, if I want to, find which services are part of a particular svchost.exe? Can in be done in C#?
Thanks!
I replied via comment, but one has even less control over formatting in comments than one does in the actual blog posting, so I figured I would post the response here as well.
=================
Tasklist.exe with the /svc param can tell you, as can Process Explorer. You can also inspect the registry to determine what services would load with what SVCHOST group (see "Troubleshooting Performance Issues with Automatic Updates" for more details).
As far as C# code, the following requires a reference to System.Management. Invoke the program, passing it the process id of the process you're curious about, and it will output the services running in that process.
using System;
using System.Management;
namespace MyGreenPaste
{
class Program
{
static void Main( string[] args )
{
if( args.GetLength( 0 ) <= 0 )
{
Console.WriteLine( "Usage: {0} pid",
System.IO.Path.GetFileName(
System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess().
MainModule.FileName ) );
Console.WriteLine( " where pid is the process id " +
"of a process hosting at least one service" );
return;
}
try
{
ManagementObjectSearcher mos =
new ManagementObjectSearcher( "root\\CIMV2",
string.Format( "SELECT * FROM Win32_Service " +
"where ProcessId={0}", args[0] ) );
foreach( ManagementObject result in mos.Get() )
{
Console.WriteLine( "{0} -> {1}", result["Name"],
result["DisplayName"] );
}
}
catch( ManagementException mex )
{
Console.WriteLine( "** Error querying WMI:{0}{1}",
System.Environment.NewLine, mex.Message );
}
}
}
}

Windows seems to have an insatiable appetite for fonts. A new installation starts out with the standard ‘core’ fonts, and there are around 20 of them, but within a very short time you could find your fonts folder has somehow acquired scores and sometimes hundreds of new ones. The Windows Font viewer in Control Panel doesn’t really tell you much, unless you open each file, so here’s a better way to see what you’ve got. It’s called Windows Fonts Explorer and there’s really no need to elaborate. (more…)

Vista fans, yup here is it! Long awaited Service Pack 1 in RTM version released .What RTM - “Release To Manufacturing” does stands for? Well, in short it’s exact same version which will appear in March aka final version.The leak is some kind of a standalone executable and has the build 6001.18000.080126-2040. Another leak has it as 080118_1840, but its a pretty early timestamp (18-01-2008) which suggests that its a fake. These builds are probably escrow and candidate for the final RTM.
Check
wiki for more details about
RTM. Keep in mind that this is only Service Pack 1 itself, it’s not Vista SP1 ISO! So, you can download it and install on any (32bit) Vista edition. Also make sure to
READ NFO for more details & explanation. For those ones who have pirated copy of Vista (well, who doesn’t?), I’m not sure will this work with that popular OEM BIOS emulation crack by PARADOX (Microsoft’s states something like - No way dude).

Leading up to next week’s
public beta-test release of Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Release Candidate, Microsoft today has
published a 17-page document outlining in fine detail exactly what difference SP1 makes to Vista.
Some of the contents has been
shared in bits in the past, but this is so far the most comprehensive “changelog” we’ve ever seen and probably will see as the final version is not expected to differ much from the RC, with the exception of WGA modifications as described below. I’ve highlighted some of the most interesting changes which you may or may not already know.
This document describes many of the notable changes in Windows Vista SP1, with the exception of some updates to the Windows Genuine Advantage experience which we are still developing for our customers and will be released in a later build.

Recently I visited
Microsoft's site looking for updates, and bumped into a help article for Windows Vista users (well it can be apply to basically any Windows version aswell) to help improve system performance and speed things up.
The bottom line is "Was this helpful?"
Well, to tell you the truth , its nothing new, and now with the
release of Service Pack 1 for Vista, you may want to see if it does anything to improve performance first.
The tips Microsoft is recommending are:
Most of these are common sense and apply to many operating systems not just Windows. The issue I'm having here is when they say "Run fewer programs at the same time" . Thats insane. With todays hardware and with enough system memory you should be able to multitask with the basics.
If Windows sluggish and is not allowing you to surf, edit a doc and listen to music at the same time then you definitely have a problem. These are basics you should be able to do. I can see why Microsoft is reiterating once more the basics to users. I think we all know by now that sure you can have the latest and greatest hardware, but if you arent doing the OS housekeeping once in a while you can count on Windows eating up drive space and memory unnecessarily.
From my experience with Windows in general, some of these tips hold true, but the most important ones I know work are:
- Defragmenting your Hard Drive(s)
- Deleting Temporary / Cached files
- Remove from startup unnecessary utilities and programs (such as updaters, itunes, quicktime, adobe, and so on...) which you can run yourself anytime you want.
- Increase your system page file and system memory (usually at least double what you get by default).
