TABLE 3: Task Manager System Control Options
Option	Purpose
End Process	If the process isn't crucial, you can select this option and stop the process. This action might let another critical process get CPU time and operate properly.
End Process Tree	Some processes have multiple threads that might act independently. You can select this option to bring your system under control.
Set Priority	You can select this option if you don't want to kill the process, but you want it to have less CPU time. Lowering a process' priority level lowers its access to CPU cycles.
Set Affinity	This option is only available on multi-CPU systems. You can select this option to bind an application to a specific CPU or set of CPUs to manage CPU usage. For example, if you have four CPUs and one application is hogging all four CPUs, you can restrict the application to only one CPU so that other applications can use the freed resources.
