How can I trace a process to a file on a windows 7 32 bit laptop?

Question

I have a process running in my process list. I would like to know which file is responsible for running the process.

How can I trace it to a file?

You might want to elaborate on what exactly you want to do, please describe it in full detail — MichelZ, Apr 03 '14 at 05:27
@MichelZ I want to know which executable is running a process in memory. — abhi, Apr 03 '14 at 12:42
Please delete the question as it doesn't fall into the realm of **professional** system administration. — abhi, Apr 04 '14 at 15:00

With the Sysinternals suite. Looking at procmon, and/or Process Explorer.

(That's assuming it's not trivial to discover with, say the Command Line column in Task Manager, of course - see below image.)
