Additional Information
CTHELPER is a background task that is a plug-in manager for Creative drivers. The theory is that 3rd party manufacturers can use the CTHELPER plug-in interface to produce drivers, add-on features, and fixes that will integrate with a tighter fit with Creative's sound drivers and utilities. Given its purpose CTHELPER would normally be classified as a "leave alone" background task. It also allows Creative speaker setup to be synchronized with Windows Control Panel speaker setting. Without it running that check box in Creative speaker setting is not functional (settings are not in sync). Unfortunately there are often problems with CTHELPER, most notably that it can use 100% of CPU time so it's best left disabled unless you need it

Windows Process Information
A process is an instance of a computer program that is being sequentially executed. A computer program itself is just a passive collection of instructions, while a process is the actual execution of those instructions. Several processes may be associated with the same program, for example opening up two windows of the same program typically means two processes are being executed.
Task Manager
The task manager program can be used to display information about the processes and programs running on a computer, as well as the general status of the computer. It can also be used to terminate processes and programs, as well as change the processes' priority.
Task manager can be accessed on Microsoft Windows PC's by holding the 'ctrl' 'alt' and 'delete' buttons simultaneously. In Windows XP and beyond, the 'ctrl' 'shift' and 'esc' buttons also access the task manager.
