windows svchost.exe service wrapper & individual services

[Brad Tilley]

I understand that svchost.exe is a service wrapper that loads many
different services (dll files) on WinXP. I can programmatically list the
individual services that it has loaded with Python, but I cannot stop or
start these individually services. Microsoft's documentation on this is
next to non-existent.

Has anyone done this successfully with Python? Could anyone point me to
some documentation?

Thanks,
Brad
