Process Explorer, Microsoft's Task Manager-zilla!



   Sysinternals Process Explorer is an advanced Task Manager with better descriptions and the ability to replace Task Manager when you click Ctrl. Alt. Del. or right click on the lower Taskbar!



   Where Task Manager tells me I have the process "avp.exe" running, I have to select and click Properties to see that it is my anti virus program, Kaspersky.  With Process Explorer all I have to do is scroll over and a descriptive paragraph pops up!



It's also got a nice graphical System Information window with ability to graph each processor separately.



You can learn a lot about your system and how Windows works by studying your system using Process Explorer.
