"What's Running 2.2 Too complex for me..."
Version: What's Running 2.2
Pros
It shows everything that's running, and I mean everything.
Cons
Too much information... I've been around computers since the early 1980's and am reasonably competent in understanding and usage.
What's Running 2.2 has so much information available that it leaves me in it's wake... -
"Apt name, When it works"
Version: What's Running 2.2
Pros
Loads easy, when it loads, and gives a description of running processes
Cons
For some reason my 64 Asus doesnt like loading this program. More than half the time it aborts as it cant find certain files, especially the PSinfo.dll. Have installed several times, to no avail.
Summary
I was looking for a program that would tell me what mysterious things are downloaded to my computer. This program has difficulty in loading, and doesnt tell me what I was thinking it would do.

"Very thorough, but what it all means is another story."
Version: What's Running 2.2
Pros
Infinitely more informative than say MS Task Manager.
It's free, personally I would not pay for it anyway.Cons
IMHO far too complex, I just look at the reports & wonder what it all means, & what should I do about it.
It has yet to help me solve any PC problem.Summary
Probably helpful in the hands of experts but almost useless for the majority.

"Goes way beyond MS Config"
Version: What's Running 2.2
Pros
Ability to completely control files running on your computer
Cons
My computer ran slower during running this utility but it eventually helped making my computer runs really faster.
Summary
I used this utility to stop files running at and after startup that wasn't clearly showing with MS Config. I did a lot more tweaking using this utility. It shows where exactly the file running. I Googled the file name to see if it's essential. My computer is running much faster.
