        !             5: The Process Viewer sample shows how to read the various bits
        !             6: of trivia and statistics from the Registry relating to the
        !             7: various threads and process hanging about on your machine.
        !             8: It also allows you to muck about with the priority of the
        !             9: processes.  There is about a third of the code present to
        !            10: do the same on a thread-by-thread basis, so if you feel

        !            19: are associated with the selected process.  Clicking on the
