›› What do all of the heading columns mean in the services control panel?

The heading columns give you a thumbnail sketch of your Windows XP Services. The heading columns are: Name, Description, Status, Startup Type, and Log On As.

• Name
• Official name for the service
• Description
• Brief description of what the service does, not always understandable to the average user
• Status
• Shows if the service is currently running (started), paused, or stopped (blank)
• Startup Type
• Shows how the service is started when the computer boots up and can be set to: Automatic, Manual, or Disabled
• Log On As
• Restricts the service to running as a particular user's account profile and forces the service to comply with set restrictions for that user, and can be set to: Local System, Local Service, or Network Service
