<h2>System Browser View</h2>
<p>  The <b>System Browser</b> view shows system level information about processes executing on various machines, like the host computer or the hardware under debugger control. The <span class="note">view</span> shows this information:</p>
<ul>
  <li>running processes</li>
  <li>tasks for selected processes</li>
  <li>some hidden processes</li>
</ul>
<p>Click on the expand icon for a process to view all tasks assigned to the selected process. Processes under debugger control appear in bold. Double-click a task to open it in a new Thread window, or choose the task name and click the Stack Crawl View button.</p>
<p>Table 1  explains items in the window.</p>
<p class="note"><b>NOTE</b> If the System Browser view does not show processes for a specific machine, you will need to start a debugging session for that machine. For example, you might need to debug a project that runs on external hardware in order to see executing processes for that hardware.</p>
