Windows 2000

[Jon]

I have a few apps running in task manager and I don't know why they are listed or what function they perform.

Does anyone know of a resource where I can find out what these do and why they are listed.

WINLOGON.EXE
CSRSS.EXE (Client Server Runtime Process)
SMSS (Windows NT Session Manager)
LSASS.EXE (LSA Executable and Server DLL (Export Version)
svchost.exe(Generic Host Process for Win32 Services) 2 of these

just curios as to what function the perform.

never mind I just found the KB articles.
