Process Explorer shows you information about which handles and DLLs processes have opened or loaded. The Process Explorer display consists of two sub-windows. The top window always shows a list of the currently active processes, including the names of their owning accounts, whereas the information displayed in the bottom window depends on the mode that Process Explorer is in: if it is in handle mode you’ll see the handles that the process selected in the top window has opened; if Process Explorer is in DLL mode you’ll see the DLLs 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. The unique capabilities of Process Explorer make it useful for tracking down DLL-version problems or handle leaks, and provide insight into the way Windows and applications work. Process Explorer works on Windows 9x/Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Server 2003, and 64-bit versions of Windows for x64 processors, and Windows Vista.What's new in Version 10.0:The process column is locked on the left side so that it doesn't scroll horizontally out of viewYou can configure custom column selections and save them as easy-to-access column setsImage verification option now verifies images in the backgroundMore refresh intervalsRunas menu entry in the File menuRun as Limited User menu entry in the File menu to run a process without administrative privileges and group membershipProcess menu includes Restart item to kill and then restart a selected processCan suspend individual threads on Threads page of Process Properties dialogThe Find Window target moves Process Explorer's main window to the back to get it out of the wayClose Window command uses same End Task functionality as Task ManagerShow New Processes option scrolls display to make new processes visibleHeuristics to detect more image packersUser name of account in which Process Explorer is running is shown in the title barServices can be stopped, resumed, and paused from the Services tab of the Process Properties dialogThe DLLs that host SvcHost processes are listed in the Services tab of the Process Properties dialogServices running within a process display on the process' tooltipAs a parallel to the CPU Usage History column there's now a Private Bytes Usage History columnThe Process view includes columns that show the working set breakdown of the process in shared, shareable and private pagesNew delta private-bytes column to show changes in private virtual memory usageCan copy lines from the Process, DLL and Handle views to the clipboardOption to show pagefile-backed (unnamed) sections in DLL viewDLL and handle searching consolidatedThe DLL view includes columns that show the working set contributions in shared, shareable, and private pagesThe DLL a Rundll32 process hosts is shown in its process tooltipPacked DLL highlighting in DLL viewImage signing verification available for DLLsBetter DLL properties dialogObject address shown in Object Properties dialogFile object share flags column for Handle viewDownload Process Explorer (x86 - 640 KB) - you plan on using Process Explorer on Win9x/Me Download Process Explorer (x86 - 640 KB) - you plan on using Process Explorer on 32-bit NT/2K/XP/Server 2003 Download Process Explorer (x64 - 640 KB) - you plan on using Process Explorer on 64-bit XP/Server 2003 Edited February 9, 2006 by alsiladka
