User:Gprivat/Computer Process Image Name

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


In both the Windows and MAC OS operating systems, each computer program has a unique process image name. The process name is usually different from the application name: in windows, Microsoft Word process name is Winword.exe. One way to view the process name is to launch Task Manager (under process tab) in Windows or Activity Monitor in MAC OS.
