Process Explorer

Ever wondered which program has a particular file or directory open? Now you can find out. Process Explorer shows you information about which handles and DLLs processes have opened or loaded.

Copy it to your %systemroot%\system32 folder and use the replace the task manger option with it. It's the best.

@Ariel_001, Thats a great idea, how did you find that out ? When I saw this I thought of all the problems people were having with malware . Also highjackthis while a great program does n't explain what the running processes are . :)

I saw it somewhere. This program is what the task manger would be if it was on steroids.

Hey Ariel_001 where is the "%systemroot%\system32 folder" in XP? Probably should know myself. lol. Thanks.

It requires mdm to be running.

I don't like mdm.
