a handle is a 32bit unsigned value marshalled and owned by Windows OS for communication between threads, windows and objects. Basically you could think of a handle as a hook attached to a specific task or object - open file, window, etc. that windows can use to identify an object and send a message to it (save data, click button, input text etc.).

A thread is an idependent piece of code for a specific task or process that can run inside the task's memory space. A program or task can have several threads which run at the same time to speed up data processing - one thread listens for user input while the other thread processes the data, does calclultions etc and third thread writes the result back to user or into a file. But still you have only one program (process) listed in the task manager.
