Open a command prompt and run this command: tasklist /svc /FI "IMAGENAME eq svchost.exe It lists all programs running under each svchost process so you can stop the service with out causing problems (this site - http://www.watchingthenet.com/how-to-identify-what-programs-started-svchostexe-in-windows.html has good instructions on using the command) The other method (which I use) is to run the program Process Explorer from SysInternals (download here - http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/ProcessesAndThreads/ProcessExplorer.mspx) this program is cool because you can just mouse over each svchost process and it will display all the programs running under it.
