- If you look in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE tree of the registry, and dig
- around in the "CurrentControlSet" (or something like that), you will find
- that many services have a key called "dependency=" (or something).
- When the system starts a service, it first checks to see that all of the
- services listed in the "dependency=" key are running. If one is not
- running, an attempt is made to start it. If this attempt fails, the
- system does not attempt to start the original service, but instead,
- records an error in the log.
-
- It would be nice to know, however, WHICH dependency service failed to
- start, as a service may have multiple dependencies.
