New Post: svchost viewer pop-up msg

Hi,

I was wondering if it would be possible to have svchost viewer default to expanding the svchost tree so that one can see right away what is running under those tasks. This would save a person from having to expand each svchost entry. Not much info there when the tree is collapsed.

Does the error come up right when you start the program ??

If so, do you have .Net version 2.00 or higher installed ??

.Net should be in windows XP sp3, but the error looks like the .Net
might be installed wrong or have some other problem, how ever
this is just a guess.

As for your 2. question, I'm not sure if you need to "block" them, svchost.exe are
a normal thing for windows to run, actually many of the services are necessary
for getting windows to work at all.

Yea I hear you, but the reason i made the pop-up
is so you could quickly close it, if you accidentally click on the application.

If you don't want it, you can easily remove it, just
download the source code and change the text in "Form1_Load" to

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
LoadSvchostData();
}

and compile :P

Or download the include file here:

The same version as in releases, but with the change above.
Thanks for your post :)

Hi,

Is there any chance of adding an option so that there is no pop-up msg when launching the program?

To me, if I did not want the program to run, I would not have launched it, so why the pop-up to continue?

If it does take more time to gather the info on some PCs, maybe a progress bar with a cancel button would do just as well.
