Process Explorer

I just found the Process Explorer via Jonathon Hardwick. This is the TaskMan on steroids that we’ve needed for a while.

This is a very cool utility. There are a couple of features that I want to point out.

The most obvious one to me is that it allows me to drill down into processes and see what’s inside of a given process, like svchost – which I always seem to have 2 or more of running at any given time.

Second, as the picture above shows, it allows for highlighting of difference processes and the really great part is that it allows me to configure those highlights.

Third, it gives me locations on the disk of each of the exe/dlls that are running.

Fourth, it gives me whatever descriptive information that it can as far as company name, description of the exe and so on.

There are a lot more good features about it. However, I’m going to leave discovering them as an exercise to the user.
