    I have one going bonkers on me eating a core for the last 15 minutes and generating 12k page faults/second over that time period (seems to be getting worse now). I'd like to pull the plug on it properly instead of just killing the process....

                      Are you running Vista or Windows 7? If yes, it is extremely simple to figure out. In th task manager highlight the svchost.exe process, right click, and select "Got To Services". This will indicate all the services running on the svchost.exe process.

                          I'm still on XP at work. Vista has been under test for almost a year here, and supposedly the actual deployments will be Weven but I haven't heard anything ETAish on the subject.

                              Just hover your mouse over any svcutil, it'll list all the processes within. You can't drill down to each of internal process though.

                                You can right click on svchost.exe and click properties. There is a services tab on the properties dialog box that appears.
