Name that Process!
Windows XP's Task Manager lets you see the processes that are running on your computer at any given time, and you can see the memory and CPU percentage being used by each, and even end a process. To access Task Manager, just right click on an empty area of the taskbar and click Task Manager, or press CTRL+ALT+DEL and click the Task Manager button. Then click the Processes tab. Sometimes, though, the information you find in the Processes list is confusing. If you have trouble figuring out just which programs are using which processes, you need this little utility called Process Explorer. You can download it at:
