Let us say my IE stopped working, so I go to windows task manager and go to Processes and select 'iexplore.exe' and 'End Process'. I can also use the 'Applications' tab to end the process but lots of times for hung applications, the application does not show up on the 'Applications' tab. Now...I can use the 'Process' tab in this case because i know that for IE, the process is called 'iexplore.exe'. But often times I will open up the task manager to kill a program, but cannot do it because i do not know the process name in windows. How can i figure out the name of a process in windows?
Find name of a windows process to kill it in task manager
