Process Explorer NT - the real task manager
Process Explorer NT is the replacement for the default Task Manager in Windows from Microsoft (links are given at bottom of page). It is also available from Sysinternals which is now a part of Microsoft. Among the many tools they offer a post have been made about TCP Viewer earlier.
Process Explorer is just every system administrators dream come true. Among the many functions provided the mainly noticeable ones are listed here.
Processes could be suspended and resumed. Just like the way you pause and resume music player you can suspend and then resume processes. This will be a great benefit if a program like a video encoder doesn’t have pause function.
You can Restart, Search online about any process. There is also a Properties view for processes which will show detailed stats of the process its handles, IO activity, Virtual an physical memory usage, TCP IP history, Environment Variables etc.
Process Explorer is able to replace task manager. You could do it right from the menus it self. This is done by a simple Registry Edit. I’ll post about it later.
This is the one of the basic tools everybody should have. Another one I would suggest would be a Free Data Recovery software.
Download Process Explorer NT here or visit the software page at Sysinternals.

I think it’s better than Process Explorer.
This thing rocks and is more user friendly!
