The Windows Task Manager will do it. On a standard Windows XP box you get to it by holding down control and alt and pressing delete. It won't show everything on the desktop, though, since it opens its own window.

Hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete to open the Task Manager. Then, click on the Performance Tab.
All will be revealed.
TIP: Click on the Help Tab to learn what all the numbers mean.

if u want to see CPU just press CTRL+ALT+DEL and the Task Manager should appear on your desktop.When it appears you can also see your running processes and also close them, or the performance of your computer, networking and the active users in the computer...
