process Id and HINSTANCE...what is the relation betweeen them?

[john]

Hello Alll,
I am learning windows programming and getting confused more and more..
here is my latest confusion...
What is the relation between processId (which we come to know from the
task manager) and hInstance (which is one of the parameter passed in
the winmain function) of a program?

Or there isn't any relation at all? if yes..why? as both give us the
unique number related to a running program..

Then you should be talking to the friendly folks in a windows
programming group!
