Help and Support

Description

Enables Help and Support Center to run on this computer. If this service is stopped, Help and Support Center will be unavailable. BlackViper.com adds: This service is required for Microsoft's online (or offline) help documents. If you ever attempt to use Help and Support, the service places itself back into Automatic and starts even if you already had this service on disabled. Program Compatability Wizard located at Start > All Programs > Accessories and System Information located at Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools requires Help and Support service to be started (it will start in Manual mode). Each will fire off one process named helpctr.exe and System Information will also fire off one process named helpsvc.exe. After selecting the Help and Support icon in the Start menu, helpctr.exe and HelpHost.exe processes are fired off. After closing each program, the new processes will exit after around 30 seconds. However, I try to avoid as much Microsoft help as I can... :)
