   Process Explorer 

Presented by SysInternal

Ever wondered which program has a particular file or directory open in
your testing work? And ever insterested what process and dlls are
running on your machine? Now you can find it out. 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.
