Process Explorer shows you information about which handles and DLLs processes have opened or loaded. The display consists of two sub-windows. The top 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 it is in. The unique capabilities make it useful for tracking down DLL-version problems or handle leaks, and provide insight into the way Windows and applications work.

    Reviewing 11.33 (Dec 11, 2009)

    I like and use Process Explorer on my Win XP SP3 system.
    Yet, because it does not show memory usage of individual processes, I still find myself running Windows Task Manager as well.
    Good point is the process hierarchy, so I can see what processes are related/dependent.
    To MS/Sysinternals: Please add Memory Usage.

    Comment re. versions and OS requirements
    Though this page states All versions of Windows, the MS sysinternals page states that Process Explorer 11.33 is for Win XP and up.
    I have a bunch of the older ones, and seems like they've been upping the minimum requirement over time, from W9x, to Win2k, now WinXP.

    To Kei-chan, the version that I have used successfully on Win 98 is Process Explorer v11.20.

    Process Explorer v11.33: This update fixes a bug where the history graph tooltips could display the wrong data point and reduces the memory footprint of the structures that store graph history.

    If Process Explorer no longer runs properly on Win98, what was the last version that did run properly?
    (Yes, I have and use Process Explorer on our Vista and XP systems, among others; I just have a Win98 tower around that I had Process Explorer running on, and would like to be able to do it again.)

    Process Explorer v11.32: This update fixes a bug in the process security page's name resolution and uses history graph tooltips that track the mouse.

    I've always been a fan of Process Explorer. Using it in Win XP SP3 and have had no issues. It's a real life saver when you're looking for what could be taking those precious resources. Highly recommend, highly respected IMO.
