Services Utility: Shell Hardware Detection Service | Display Name (?): | Shell Hardware Detection | | Short Name (?): | ShellHWDetection | | Executable (?): | svchost.exe | | Library (?): | shsvcs.dll | | Depends On (?): | Remote Procedure Call (RPC) | | Supports (?): | None. | | Description (?): | Provides notifications for AutoPlay hardware events. | | OS (?): | XP Home/Professional, Vista Home/Business, Server 2003, Vista Server | | Startup (?): | | Default | Home | Workstation | Server | Minimal | Tweaked | Automatic | | Automatic | Automatic | Automatic | Automatic | Automatic | Disabled | Disabled | |
Explanation (?): |
The shell hardware detection service is used in monitoring floppy drives, CD drives, DVD drives, digital cameras, web cams, hard-drives, ZIP drives, and other internal and external peripherals. This service is especially important for autorun features and turning this service off will cause all autorun options to be disabled. However, removing this service can have very unexpected results as it is very entwined in the Windows subsystem. Disabling it may cause your computer to slow down greatly and have random drive access attempts on drives (such as your floppy). For this reason you should be sure to have this service set to automatic. Setting this service to manual can also cause odd behavior. |

"Man is the only animal that deals in that atrocity of atrocities, War. He is the only one that gathers his brethren about him and goes forth in cold blood and calm pulse to exterminate his kind. He is the only animal that for sordid wages will march out... and help to slaughter strangers of his own species who have done him no harm and with whom he has no quarrel.... And in the intervals between campaigns he washes the blood off his hands and works for 'the universal brotherhood of man' - with his mouth". --Mark Twain
