Services (Windows XP)

Is there a place to lookup what specific serves are and what programs they support.

For example, I have a service running PcScnSrv.exe. I have researched this on the InterNet and found that is a TrendMicro AntiVirus service.
I have several other services I would like to identify, but was hoping not to have to research each on the net individually.

Also, can you recommend a good tool for clearing unused Registry entries?

Thanks for any help.

Cleaning the registry agressively can be dangerous. CCleaner from Piriform has a good reputation – it is configurable, it offers to make a backup, and with the default options it won’t remove essential entries. And it is .

Other programs that have built in searches, have reported the lose of this function.

To check on various processes see ProcessLibrary.com – The online resource for process information! or Uniblue Process Library. Both have quite extensive lists to scan or search.
