What's the difference between a process and a thread?

Hi there,

I thought it's about time I learned this one. I've been doing some research of my own but I thought I'd ask on here as well, as I've had some great advice on here before.

I've been learning about DLL's and seems there's a lot more to it than just using the standard Load and Free library functions.

I always thought a thread was something handled exclusively by one processor. And a process was something contained within that thread.

I don't really know to be honest though, so thought best to ask

Thanks
