Taskmanger double processess

I was checking through task manger and noticed I had few doubles going on. I'm pretty sure the Internet Explore one is normal as I have seen that one before, but the other ones I'm not so sure about.

Internet Explore showed I had two processes of iexplore.exe *32 running.

Google Chrome showed I had six processes running. And I only had one tab open.

Then I have three conhost.exe running. I tried searching for something about that whether it was normal to have three and I couldn't come up with anything.

I also have two taskhost.exe running, but a quick search said that was normal.

Any info would be great. I think I do recalling something about with windows 7 being the reason for having the extra process of ie showing, but I don't remember having six processes for chrome before.

That is normal. I get the same thing. Each task does a different thing. I'm not sure what they do exactly but I have the same thing.

Yeah. I figured wanted to be sure. My brother had three google chromes showing in his task manager even though he only had one opened.

If you're interested in finding out what going on behind the GUI, you can use Process Explorer from Windows Sysinternals. .
It does the same thing as the windows task manager, but it provides more details and options then the built in task manager.
