Task Manager, previously known as Windows Task Manager, is a task manager, system monitor, and startup manager included with Microsoft Windows systems.

It provides limited information about computer performance and running applications, processes and CPU usage, commit charge and memory information, network activity and statistics, logged-in users, and system services.

The Task Manager can also be used to set process priorities, processor affinity, forcibly terminate processes, and shut down, restart, hibernate, or log off from Windows.

Windows Task Manager was introduced with Windows NT 4.0.

Previous versions of Windows NT included the Task List application, which had far fewer features.

The task list was capable of listing currently running processes and killing them, or creating a new process.

In Windows XP only, a Shutdown menu is also present that allows access to Standby, Hibernate, Turn off, Restart, Log Off, and Switch User.

An application program (app or application for short) is a computer program designed to perform a group of coordinated functions, tasks, or activities for the benefit of the user.

Examples of an application include a word processor, a spreadsheet, an accounting application, a web browser, a media player, an aeronautical flight simulator, a console game or a photo editor.

The collective noun application software refers to all applications collectively.

This contrasts with system software, which is mainly involved with running the computer.

Instant messaging (IM) is a type of online chat that offers real-time text transmission over the Internet.

A LAN messenger operates in a similar way over a local area network.

Short messages are typically transmitted bi-directionally between two parties, when each user chooses to complete a thought and select "send".

Some IM applications can use push technology to provide real-time text, which transmits messages character by character, as they are composed.

More advanced instant messaging can add file transfer, clickable hyperlinks, Voice over IP, or video chat.

Windows Live Messenger (formerly MSN Messenger) is a discontinued instant messaging client developed by Microsoft for Windows, Xbox 360, BlackBerry OS, iOS, Java ME, S60 on Symbian OS 9.x, and Zune HD.

It connected to the Microsoft Messenger service while also having compatibility with Yahoo! Messenger and Facebook Messenger.

The client was first released as MSN Messenger on July 22, 1999, and was marketed under the MSN branding until 2005 when it was rebranded under Windows Live and has since been officially known by its present name, although its previous name was still used colloquially by most of its users.

In June 2009, Microsoft reported the service attracted over 330 million active users each month, placing Messenger among the most widely used instant messaging clients in the world.

File sharing is the practice of distributing or providing access to digital media, such as computer programs, multimedia (audio, images and video), documents or electronic books.

File sharing may be achieved in a number of ways.

Common methods of storage, transmission and dispersion include manual sharing utilizing removable media, centralized servers on computer networks, World Wide Web-based hyperlinked documents, and the use of distributed peer-to-peer networking.
