Windows Server 2003 Managing System Services
This is one of the most interesting reading out in these days from Microsoft: Windows Server 2003 Managing System Services.
Windows Server™ 2003 family of operating systems starts some applications during system startup that are not tied to an interactive user. These applications are called services or Win32 services because they rely on the Win32 application programming interface (API) to interact with the operating system. Similar to UNIX daemons, services often implement the server side of the client/server application model. A basic understanding of service functionality, monitoring services, managing services, and troubleshooting services can improve your ability to perform diagnostic procedures to resolve service-related problems.
A great explanation of the Windows Services loaded during startup is a great thing...
