Process description for Windows XP Home Edition

Question

In my Windows XP Home Edition, there is no desciption for the processes in the task manager.

For example, all the services seem to appear with the same-name processes "SVCHOST.EXE". But I want to find out the one that use most of the CPU, however there is no more description I can find in task manager.

I saw in this link, one can use tasklist for Windows XP Professional Edition. BUt how to accomplish the same thing for Home edition?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Go have a look at Process Explorer from SysInternals. It will show you (by hovering over each process) which services are running, which will help you narrow it down.

Answer 2

Follow the advice in the link that you posted and use process explorer maybe? It really is a good application.

EDIT: If you'd rather use tasklist itself, you can download it here.
