unknown processes running in windows

hi,

i have a windows 2003 server and i have alot of cmd.exe processes running. As far as i am aware cmd.exe is command prompt. What i dont understand is why have so many running. I have Ensim Pro. does Ensim use cmd.exe alot or something?

Also, i have two Python.exe running, is this supposed to be?

And whats more strange is that i have some php scripts on my site and everytime someone opens a php script, my windows process shows php.exe open but if more than one people access the php file i have soo many php.exe's open and my cpu usage shoots to about 90%. someone told me that this is because i have the CGI module of php installed and that i should switch to the ISAPI module. Can anyone please verify this and tell me if this will help and how?

thanx in advanced.

cheers
kelly
