Hi Guys

Is anyone aware of a bit of software that can tell an administrator what files are being used by a service? Remotley or locally?

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\(servicename)

optionally look into Parameters subkey as well.

OK,

Maybe you have the W2k Reskit.. There are a couple of Service tools in it...

Have you looked at Depends.exe from the MS 2000 Support Tools? Get the "ImagePath" value from the registry then have Depends.exe walk it.

I would look to sysinternals.com and a program called handle.exe that can dump the currently open file handles (and filenames) of a process running as a service.

The other goodie might be TLIST.EXE to dump the currently open DLLs a process running as a service will have open.
