Services
Microsoft® Windows NT® supports an application type known as a service. A Win32-based service conforms to the interface rules of the Service Control Manager (SCM). It can
be started automatically at system boot, by a user through the Services control
panel applet, or by a Win32-based application that uses the service functions
included in the Microsoft® Win32® application programming interface (API). Services can execute even when no
user is logged on to the system.
Windows NT also supports a driver service, which conforms to the device driver protocols for Windows NT. It is similar
to the Win32-based service, but it does not interact with the SCM. For
simplicity, the term service refers to a Win32-based service in this overview.
Note Windows 95 supports a subset of the functionality provided by the Windows NT
SCM. For more information, see Windows 95 Service Control Manager.
