    tool API Monitor displays Windows API calls made by User-Mode applications (not drivers or NT services).

    Set this at top of window. Windows 200X System Services

      In the list of services below, the value
      “N” under the first column indicates a Native (default) service that comes with Microsoft's operating system.
      “S” indicates a Server service.
      “A” indicates a Microsoft Add-on application such as SMS.
      “U” indicates a third-party Utility application such as Winzip.

      The Service Display Name column lists the name of the service. This field is defined in the Display Name value in registry key

        HKLM/Services/

      Associated in the same registry are the Description and Image Name.

      The Image Name column lists the executable file name defined at the end of the registry's Image Path value, which is usually

        %windir%/System32/...

      The Image Name is also displayed under the Task Manager's Processes tabanother page on this site

      Values in this column can be used in batch run script filesanother page on this site to manage that service. For example, to shut down the IIS5 World Wide Web service:

      Group policies for each service can be controlled by values in the Startup, Permission, Audit column for each service used by the Service Control Manager.

      The Svc column lists the service name used in the Services file -- within %WinDir%\system32\drivers\etc -- which assigns ports to services.

      tool To list the state of services on your machine using WMI/WBEM root class, run this from the Resource Kit:
      Cscript “service.vbs

        NAME                STATE     DISPLAY NAME   
        Alerter             Stopped   Alerter        
        ALG                 Running   Application Layer Gateway Service 
        AppMgmt             Stopped   Application Management 
        ...
        

      To get this same list from within the Recovery Console, run:
      listsvc

      To create / delete, start / stop, or pause / continue services, use the Service Controller from the Resource Kit CD. This queries all:
      sc query state= all

    Set this at top of window. Shutting Down Services

      Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition services keeps itself from being stopped or removed —even with administrator rights — if that option has been disabled via the Symantec System Center (SSC).

      So you need to use the SSC to allow/deny users the ability to stop/start the service. In the SSC, highlight the specific system then click > All Tasks > Norton AntiVirus > Client Administrator Only Options > Security > and check/uncheck the “Lock the ability of users to unload Norton AntiVirus Services”.

      To change the “Ask for password to allow uninstall of Norton AntiVirus client”, SSC requests the password used to set up the specific group.

      RPC Ports

      To lock down ports used for RPC communications, run Regedit.

      Key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\RPC\Internet
      Named Value: Ports
      Type: REG_MULTI_SZ
      Setting: Range of port. This can be multiple lines.
      64975-64995
      
      Named Value: PortsInternetAvailable
      Type: REG_SZ
      Setting: Y
      
      Named Value: UseInternetPorts
      Type: REG_SZ
      Setting: Y
      

      Turbo Tax CDAC11BA.EXE

      Disabling the C_DILLA service associated with this file has no effect because Turbo Tax recreates the file. So you need "Tiny Personal Firewall 3.0" to deny the file CDAC11BA.EXE of any resource access rights and disallowing Turbot Tax to install/start any services.
