1.Start any application, say Word. Open some large documents.
2.Press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC to open Windows Task Manager and click Processes tab and sort the list in descending order on Mem Usage.
You will notice that WINWORD.EXE will be somewhere at the top, using multiple MBs of memory.
3.Now switch to Word and simply minimize it. (Don't use the Minimize All Windows option of the task bar).
4.Now go back to the Windows Task Manager and see where WINWORD.EXE is listed
Most probably you will not find it at the top.
You will typically have to scroll to the bottom of the list to find Word.
