Why do i get two apache.exe's running when i start my 1.3.28 apache localserver on my Win XP?

Because Apache for Windows is multithreaded, it does not use a separate process for each request, as Apache does on Unix. Instead there are usually only two Apache processes running: a parent process, and a child which handles the requests. Within the child process each request is handled by a separate thread.
From http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/platform/windows.html
