If you've ever tried tracking down a process in Windows Task Manager, you know it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. Process Explorer makes the job a lot easier. This freeware utility displays running processes in an intuitive tree format that includes not only process names, but also program icons and other data, such as description, image, and processor time.

It also can identify the process for a given application window or look up a process name in Google--a handy way to spot spyware. Additional features offer detailed information on performance, DLLs, threads, handles, TCP/IP connections, security settings, and environments. Despite its lack of visual polish, Process Explorer is one of the best Task Manager replacements we've seen.

Publisher's description

The Process Explorer display consists of two subwindows. The top always shows a list of the currently active processes, including the names of their owning accounts, and the information displayed in the bottom window depends on the mode the Process Explorer is in: If it's in handle mode, you'll see the handles that the process selected in the top window has opened; if it's in DLL mode, you'll see the DLL and memory-mapped files that the process has loaded. Process Explorer also has a powerful search capability that will quickly show you which processes have particular handles opened or DLLs loaded.
