I suggest you read the "Processes and Threads" chapter of your help:
"
An application written for Microsoft� Windows� consists of one or more
processes.
A process, in the simplest terms, is an executing program. One or more
threads
run in the context of the process. A thread is the basic unit to which the
operating system allocates processor time. A thread can execute any part of
the
process code, including parts currently being executed by another thread.
"
