Default Determine what programs are running?

I am using MS Millennium Edition operating system.
I have an unknown program accessing my hard disk. This
takes up my valuable memory and slows down my system.
How can I display a list that shows all programs running?

In advance, THANKS for the HELP!

May I suggest you download yourself a process viewer that will not only tell
you which processes are running at any instant as well tell you which
processes are using cpu cycles at any instance together with their accumulated
usage over time. Knowing the process involved should then make solving your
problem somewhat simpler. I suspect you may find the mystery process
accessing your hard disk to be either Win Me's state manager (stmgr.exe) or
winmgmt.exe.

Suitable viewers include the old but still functional WinTop (part of the
equally old Win95 Powertools available from
http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/d...oy/Default.asp)
through TaskInfo 2003, unfortunately no longer free, (www.iarsn.com) to
SysInternals Process Explorer (www.sysinternals.com where you will also find
many other useful tools and utilities).
