When looking at the Processes part of the task manager, how do you know what

processes should be running at any given time? What should the CPU be running

at?

Take a wild-assed guess. It's always worked for ME.

You learn all about them -- a LOT about them.

Depends on what's running. Running things like an email client, browsing the

web, working on documents or spreadsheets takes little CPU. Running a game

or other processor-intensive apps might take CPU usage close to 100%.
