   CTL, ALT, Delete brings up the Windows Task Manager. You can view what is   
   in memory and how much CPU activity Explorer is using. In the Processes   
   window, you can go down the list of what programs are running in memory,   
   the User Name of the Admin who included that program in Startup and the   
   processes, CPU usage in percentage and how much memory is being used by   
   the listed process.   
      
   I'm not sure if explorer.exe is part of the IE program or is part of the   
   Windows Explorer program that I use to browse windows folders. At the   
   present time on my XP system, it is using 00% of CPU time and has almost   
   19k of memory in use. Even if you don't have very much memory, that 19k is   
   a drop in the bucket.   
      
   The other 'windows' processes in WTM are CPU Performance, Networking use,   
   Users logged onto your system and Applications, which shows you what   
   programs are 'running' in your bottom tray.   
      
   I also use Ztree, but I don't allow it to manipulate Windows 'files or   
   folders' - preferring to use Windows EXplorer for that. It is very handy   
   for some of my MSDOS programs, including editing ASCII files, though.
