Could you help me understand the difference between a Windows Service and a Windows Process?<br />
<br />
Also - how do you determine the path to the executable for a process without the use of 3rd party tools?<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Windows Process vs Service

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
