How can I find out what programmes are currently running on my machine,
please? I have XPPro. Thank you
Press ctrl-alt-del, click on task manager. This will give you a list of
programs and processes running on your computer.
If by currently running, you just meant "installed"
Start->Control panel->add/remove programs. (no, you don't have to add
or remove a program to see the list)
