 Re: What’s a Windows process? It’s an application that’s running and had been allocated memory.

 Re: What’s a Windows process? hmm...super.... A process is an instance of a running application. An application is an executable on the hard drive or network. There can be numerous processes launched of the same application (5 copies of Word running), but 1 process can run just 1 application.

 Re: What’s a Windows process? hmm.... Each process is allocated its own block of available RAM space, no process can access another process’ code or data. If the process crashes, it dies alone without taking the entire OS or a bunch of other applications down.

| Re: Thread and number of processes? Hi S, It is the first place where I found a real answer. Could you please explain me what a thread is ? And why for some applications as for Notepad , when I open several windows in Windows Vista Premium , a correspondent number of processes appear in Task Manager and for Firefox 3.5 only one appears ? Thank you Regards. |
