Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Processes are always identified by a unique process identifier (PID) assigned by the operating system. A PID is a numerical value that is unique systemwide for each running process. While processes may have a globally unique identifier (GUID), it is not usually used when referring to them. The service name is associated with a specific Windows service, but not with a process in general. The executable name is the name of the file that contains the program code for the process, but it is not always unique and may not be the same as the process name.
