Replace Your Task Manager With Process Explorer

We've all done the Ctrl+Alt+Del to open the Windows Task Manager to see what applications are running. The list is confusing, to say the least. Process Explorer was created by SysInternals, which is now owned by Microsoft. The Process Explorer gives users a highly detailed view of the processes running on your computer, as well as icons and the command line used to run them.

While the basic Task Manager available in Windows is fine for most users, those who want more control over the applications running on their computer will want to download it. It can help track down stubborn programs will not shut down, or mysterious programs that load without your knowledge.
