    I have two services in my PC,
    1) messenger
    2) Remote Access Auto Connection Manager

    When I saw the properties of both these services, I found
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs
    in the path of both the services. How can two different services have the same parameters to the svchost.exe ???

    Please throw some light on this.

    I was wondering how the same executable, with the same parameters is able to start differetn services !!

    if we say ipconfig /all, its functionality is the same. This is different for svchost.exe How ?

    Anyway, thanks for the info.
