It would appear you guys haven't heard of Black Viper. He's been the king of WIndows services since the good old days of The Screen Savers on Tech TV. He has service listing and descriptions for XP, Vista and Windows 7. You can ever download reg files to make the changes with a simple click. Great site if you really want to know what the service does.

+1 for Black Viper. I've been using this site for awhile :D
 
I....I thought I was the only one who knew about BlackViper. I had no idea he was famous o_O
 
I kept wondering why you didn't use the one on BV.com myself Meth...

He has downloaded reg entries, a services tool you can config your own, just loaded with goodness, main page doesn't link direct though so it gets overlooked until you click the link "Windows XP x86 (32-bit) Service Pack 3 Services" and then "Services Registry Files", which is prob why you didn't see it before now. ;)

Wow, Tech TV and The Screen Savers brings back some memories lol. Leo Laporte and "Call for Help" jump to mind.

Well you had said you knew of the site so I never linked, then after several days and a few posts I see you asking for the services so I decided you must have missed it and made it easier with the link... :p
