Viewing Executing Programs

I

We have Microsoft XP Home OS, how do you view a list of
the currently executing programs (tasks)? How would one
selectively halt or remove the executing program? On
Windows 2000 professional, we can still use the cntl-alt-
del and get a list and selectly remove programs...

Thanks!

From Windows XP Help:
Using Windows Task ManagerYou might need to be logged on
as an administrator or a member of the Administrators
group in order to perform some tasks.

Windows Task Manager provides information about computer
performance and displays details about programs and
processes running on your computer. If you are connected
to a network, you can also view network status and see at
a glance how your network is functioning. Depending on
your work environment and whether you share your computer
with other users, you can view additional information
about those users. Using Windows Task Manager, you can
also end programs or processes, start programs, and view
a dynamic display of your computer's performance.

Open Windows Task Manager.

Notes

To open Windows Task Manager, right-click an empty space
on the taskbar, and then click Task Manager.
For information about using Windows Task Manager, click
the Help menu in Windows Task Manager.

You'll want to ask questions like this on a Windows newsgroup.

That said, click START, RUN, type TASKMGR, and hit Enter.
