Section 2 shows the processes
currently running on the system, their priority, whether they are a
required or normal process in Windows, the process name, the process
executable, the priority of the process, the threads (Not available in WindowsNT), current CPU usage, current MEMory usage, and the time and
date when the process was started.
Section 3 is the Info Viewer.
Here you can see a description, if one is available, for the process
selected in Section 2. A huge majority of the processes running
have already been described either by LIUtilities, or by users who
submit descriptions to be added to the process library later. You
can also enter personal notes about the process to remind you why you
don't shut it down, or what you use it for. If you don't have a
description listed for a process you can submit it by clicking on a link
below where the process description would normally be. You can
also submit modifications if you feel the description is incorrect or
your comments about that process. There is also a link to show the
details about the process.
Let's go further into the WinTasks
system and find out what really makes this utility tick.
