Task manager
From Wikipedia

Task manager on Windows XP

A task manager is a program used to provide information about the processes and programs running on a computer, as well as the general status of the computer. It can also be used to terminate processes and programs, as well as change the processes' priority.

Task manager in Windows operating system

In Windows operating systems, the task manager is a program named "Windows Task Manager" (taskmgr.exe), or, in older versions of Windows, "Tasks" (taskman.exe). As new versions of the Windows operating system are released, they tend to bring with them a more advanced task manager, however, these versions sometimes have drawbacks. An example would be processor drain of the Windows 2000 / Windows XP task manager; which, while slight, can sometimes bar it from opening in the event a process runs out of control. A popular way to open the Windows task manager is by the button combination Control-Alt-Delete.
