windows task manager alternative...

[sarbin]

just thought i'd pass along a cool tool i ran across awhile ago.
microsoft sysinternals - process explorer: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysi ... 96653.aspx
it's like taskman on steroids!

cheers!

I agree it's a nice tool, but it can be overkill if you just want to quickly end a task or increase process priority. In such cases, Windows Task Manager will do just fine, especially as it can be run using the ctrl+shift+esc key combination.

Another one (also on steroids) is Anvir Task Manager

It comes in a paid and a free version.

.... especially as it can be run using the ctrl+shift+esc key combination.

Process Explorer has an option to replace Task Manager, so it starts popping up instead whenever hotkeys like that or ctrl-alt-del are pressed. I miss the tab in Task Manager that only shows window titles though.
