The 20th most popular system tool on Windows
… More EditProcess Explorer is a freeware computer program for Microsoft Windows created by Sysinternals, which was acquired by Microsoft Corporation.
Process Explorer is a system monitoring and examination utility, similar to a souped-up version of Task Manager, and often can be used as the first step in debugging software or system problems when in the hands of an experienced software engineer.
Process Explorer provides many unique features that can be used to empower the user of the product to track down problems. For example, it provides a means to list or search for named resources that are held by a process or all processes. This can be used to track down what is holding a file open and preventing its use by another program. Or as another example, it can show the command lines used to start a program, allowing otherwise identical processes to be distinguished. Or like Task Manager, it can show a process that is maxing out the CPU, but unlike Task Manager it can show which thread (with the callstack) is using the CPU information that is not even available under a debugger.
Process Explorer works on Windows 9x/Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista. It also works on 64-bit versions of Windows.

Great replacement for Windows Task Manager, can't live without it...auto-starts with Windows!
Better then the built in task manager and didn't find any better.
What Windows Task Manager should be like. Thankfully there is an option in Process Explorer to have it "take over" from Task Manager anyway.
Much better than the usual Windows Task Manager.
Tree and Color eye-catching!
If you use it once, you will never be able to live without it!
It is on auto start on my system!
Indeed best task-manager out there.
I turn the update speed down to low and leave this utility running in the background literally all the time.
Very useful piece of software. I have used similar and this gives you the best information on each process that is running on your machine. Great for dealing with programs that won't shutdown properly and also rouge software. Get it, its free! A great addition to anyone's software collection, especially as a portable software app on a person's usb stick.
Amazing software piece
Microsoft, replace task manager with this NOW!

This is just the main element what should have every computer have. Brilliant.
I use it on all my computers. Great task manager alternative program.
Deep process management. No show-stopping bugs that I care about.
This is an essential Task Manager replacement for power users.
