Majoram Posted April 21, 2006 Author Share Posted April 21, 2006 Start -> Run -> services.msc for a GUI overview.or the sc.exe command to query/start/stop/... services-> sc query <nameofyourservice>Cool thanks but that's not quite what I wanted. Basically I'm looking for something that would be able to identify when a service was added to the list in services.msc.Say I installed a couple programs, then I would run this "miracle tool" and it would say the following services were added today.Or it would list all services and I can pick out the most recent services that were added by checking their dates/times compared to when I installed the programs.It's just hard to remember that whole list in services.msc and to then pick out the ones I don't recognize each time I install a bunch of programs.Thanks for the sc.exe command though. Cool stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonic Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 You can use AutoRuns from www.sysinternals.com (In options check Hide Microsoft entry & Verify singatures) and you will see only third-party services in tab "Services".Goodbye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will take a look at it. I didn't know about this free version of an installation monitor.You can use AutoRuns from www.sysinternals.com (In options check Hide Microsoft entry & Verify singatures) and you will see only third-party services in tab "Services".Goodbye.Thanks Sonic! That's very close to what I am looking for. Just got to read up on it.Thanks again to all. I was very doubtful I would find what I was looking for.Majoram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
