After reading perhaps three thousand threads over the past five years that
'David Lipman' joined in various anti virus newsgroups, and then reading the
threads involved in this discussion, I posted my suggestions. In the best
of all possible worlds, 'ToddAndMargo' would have asked the question "How do
I display ALL processes in Windows?" posted to, say,
microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics . Or even more directly, use the string
[ display processes in Windows ] . First hit does the trick,
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/ProcessExplorer.mspx
"Process Explorer for Windows v10.21".
