The Notepad process information is fine here. However, with wordpad
the results are not much differentiating:

wordpad.exe pid: 2832 COMP\rajatd

Both the wordpad applications opened 2 totally different files kept at
different locations on the system.

So, on the basis of above results one can not say out of these 2
wordpad apps which is the right one that could be closed. The only
different thing among the two is the PIDs.
