more details
In contrast to using Windows shipped Task Manager Process Explorer could early on details such as the number of threads , used handles and program libraries ( DLLs ) to individual processes show. The exact evaluation of which process uses which DLL is just as possible as the display of the command line parameters with which a process was started. Furthermore, precise information about memory usage (including I / Os and paging processes) can be called up.
The program works as a kind of portable application (or so-called portable software ), so can not install from mobile data carriers - such. B. USB memory sticks or CD-ROMs - can be started and executed. However, all settings made are saved in the local Windows registry , which means that they cannot be transferred.
