Tracking real time threads.
Windows PowerShell (free and used by admins and within AD,
Exchange, IIS and etc.) is the Windows admin's automation
tool. One can use PowerShell for tracking Apache processes,
use httpd.exe, php, perl whatever. But for here one is using
notepad so all Windows users with Windows PowerShell can play
along. The below is in a PowerShell console window (like cmd).
PS > notepad
PS > notepad
PS > $theProcesses = [System.Diagnostics.Process]::GetProcessesByName("notepad")
PS > $theProcesses

Just keep repeating or automate this in a
name.ps1 file for current results!
Perhaps more later like TCP results, charting,
process stats (and what is needed?) examples!
