How can I retrieve the exact display name of Service in VISTA

[johna...@gmail.com]

In Vista the display name of services shows with the dll name and a
numeric parameter value.

How can I retrieve the exact display name and description of that

Not using the SCM windows API

For Example:

Registry Path: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services"
Service Name: "AppMgmt"
Display Name in the registry: "@appmgmts.dll,-3250"
Description in the registry: "@appmgmts.dll,-3251"

Actual Display name in Services list (Services.msc): "Application
Management"
Actual Description in Services list (Services.msc): "Processes
installation, removal, and enumeration requests for software deployed
through Group"

My doubt is how to get the value "Application Management" from
"@appmgmts.dll,-3250"?

please get me a sample code to query the DLL get the value.

Here for example How will we query to the appmgmts.dll and get the
display name?

Could some one please help .....

Thank you in advance.
John

Maybe you just want to find it in the registry under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services ?
