What does the '-k' mean after svchost.exe?

Probably an odd question, however, i'd like to know the answer. It's to do with that svchost.exe thing that's running. When I typed svchost.exe in a search engine sometimes it'll say something like 'svchost.exe -k netsvcs' what is the meaning of '-k'?

I like to know these things! lol!

It's a top secret code to detect what you're doing on your computer at all times....

Ok, seriously... It's a parameter subkey that points to a dll file of the service using the process. Read all about it here:
svchost.exe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Read especially the "Implementation" part).

I believe your first answer! haha.
