    I have a program that seems to start by itself and hogs my CPU. I have
    Process Explorer on my PC - but don't know how to see which app started
    the "hog." Can anyone tell me? Thanks.........

    Start with Task manager.

    You are asking for a lot of detailed information - check TechNet
    site -system internals for information.

    If you choose 'View > Process Tree' you may be able to spot the hog's
    parent; assuming that it hasn't itself already been killed in the
    slaughterhouse, figuratively speaking.

    Right-click process > Properties > Image (tab) may also provide some clues
    eg 'command line', 'parent' etc
