Tasklist /SVC

Ever have XP go to 100% CPU? When you try to find the offending process in Task Manager it shows up as "svchost"? Svchost is a tool that gives non-executable dlls and services a way to run. It is generic, and there can be mutiple copies of it in Task Manager. To figure out which application is really causing the problem, grab the PID (Process ID, non-default column in Task Manager), and look for it in the list generated by typing "tasklist /svc" at the command line.
