This is a normal service in Windows XP.

Using Win XP Pro SP2 on this box:
I was looking over services in the MMC that I have started and noticed one 
that doesn't seem to conform.  As with more than a few definitions of 
Microsoft Services, this definition leaves you wondering just what the 
definition really is, and what it does:
"Enables Windows-based programs to create, access, and modify Internet-based 
files. If this service is stopped, these functions will not be available. If 
this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it will 
fail to start."
1) I'm not having any browser problems knock on wood, so that leaves me 
wondering what a clear definition of the above definition is.
2) Most any other service can be set to Manual or Automatic and started. 
Not this one. Right clicking it reveals a ghosted out start option even when 
manual or automatic is selected.  I've not seen that.  The path to the 
executable is no help C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe -k LocalService--which 
of the 4-5  svhost entries in processes this connects to I have no idea.
3) It also has an account on the Logon tab with a password I don't remember 
setting, and a pulldown with a hardware profile entry.
I'd appreciate if someone could explain what this is for, why I can't start 
it, if I should start it or if only at certain times then when, and why it 
is the only service entry whose status is "stopping."
TIA,
Chad Harris
