    I use Windows 2000 Professional and Windows 2000 Professional, and I use the
    'Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional Resource Kit', a 3 kilogram book and
    CD-ROM that is a good source of answers for such questions. I'm sure the
    'Windows XP Professional Resource Kit' is just as good. The book I have has
    165 pages on monitoring and analyzing performance.

    There are about 20 columns selectable in 'Task Manager', and the 'Process
    Viewer' (Pviewer.exe) is also useful.

    Windows XP 'Help' should give information on how to use performance counters
    for trouble shooting bottlenecks.
