I was sure I had seen a thread on how to list running services but I can't
find it either on this forum or on the archive. Confused

Does anyone know how to list running services?

Mac posted some code on something like this, but I don't think it was
specifically running services. Check down in the VDS 3 source code
section.

@LiquidCode & @Serge: I'm looking to find out how to list the running
services. A service is a program which is running in the background at
all times, even when a user is not logged on. I'm attempting to create a
utility which will allow the investigation of viruses and trojan horses and
help remove them from a system. Smile

BTW, if you're only looking to cover the Win9x systems, then disregard
anything you hear about NT, as the services in 95 can be any typical
exe, even VDS made exe's can be run as a service on 95 systems.

I can at least give you an idea how to get a list of programs that are
set to be run as services.

Check the registry for services list.

For services on NT.... Good Luck! It's a pain dealing with NT on this.

The program I posted:

http://www.vdsworld.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1347

uses @winlist(NCI) instead of just the default window name (title),
and some of the programs listed may be services. I also added a
second version that will attempt to close a selected program if ya
choose to.

Most folks would prolly be surprised at the stuff running that does
NOT show up with CTRL+ALT+DEL...

Hey FF,
Did you ever make any headway with listing NT services? I might be able to use that ability for the resurection of an old project.

Thanks Smile

Hi All,
The only way I know of right now to do this is to use the Win32 API with Gadget. There are tons of VB examples that do this and can be converted to Gadget.

Hi moke,

Nope, never found a way but I'm still checking into it. I thought there was
an old DOS command that could do it. Confused
