Services Utility: Human Interface Device Access Service | Display Name (?): | Human Interface Device Access | | Short Name (?): | HidServ | | Executable (?): | svchost.exe | | Library (?): | hidserv.dll | | Depends On (?): | Remote Procedure Call (RPC) | | Supports (?): | None. | | Description (?): | Enables generic input access to Human Interface Devices (HID), which activates and maintains the use of predefined hot buttons on keyboards, remote controls, and other multimedia devices. If this service is stopped, hot buttons controlled by this service will no longer function. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start. | | OS (?): | XP Home/Professional, Vista Home/Business, Server 2003, Vista Server | | Startup (?): | | Default | Home | Workstation | Server | Minimal | Tweaked | Automatic | | Automatic | Automatic | Automatic | Automatic | Disabled | Disabled | Disabled | |
Explanation (?): |
The human interface device access allows for the use of devices native to Windows XP (and above versions) the ability to use programmable buttons. By human interface device Microsoft means any tool you use to input data into your computer; such as a keyboard, a mouse, a game controller, a printer, a scanner, etc.. Chances are that you do not have a device that uses this unless it is made by Microsoft and designed with Windows XP in mind. I say this because any interface device you have is most likely supported in Windows 2000, and since most companies had to write the support for the HID in 2000 they no doubt used the same software in XP. You can safely set this service to disabled if you do not believe you need it. If you disable this service and any of your keyboard special buttons (like volume controls) or speciality mouse buttons or scanner one touch scan buttons fail to work properly then just set this service on automatic. Setting this service to manual will just have it activate on boot. |

"Why, of course, the people don't want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship[...] Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country." - Herman Goering: Intelligence office interview at Nuremberg, 1946/4/18
