Where are services hosted by "svchost.exe -k NetworkService" on Windows 7? What is the meaning of "-k NetworkService" parameter?
✍: FYIcenter.com
"svchost.exe -k NetworkService" command is used
to invoke the svchost.exe program to load the DLL file for the given service
specified in the registry.
"-k NetworkService" is the process grouping parameter. It allows Windows to load multiple DLL files under a single shared svchost.exe process of the same group name.
