NTKern

Exists in Windows9x (95/98/ME) only. NT WDM drivers support VxD. This pseudo process contains threads that are not owned by any Windows process, for example, NT kernel emulator worker threads. CPU usage of these threads is not visible to the Windows 9x "Wintop.exe" utility from æKernel ToysÆ package or to the Windows 9x monitor utility. For example, if you use a soundcard with WDM driver (kernel WDM audio mixer) and software MIDI synthesizer, you can see its CPU usage in NTKern pseudo process.
