Admiral Ross Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Hello All! Just looking around and evaluating some apps. The ones that I've been playing with tonight are. Process Explorer by Sysinternals. http://www.sysinternals.com Task Info by Iarsn http://www.iarsn.com/taskinfo.html I've used these programs in the past but not lately. It was time to check in on them and see what improvements they've made. The above 2 programs show you the same info but in different ways. Another one that I use often is siw.exe http://www.gtopala.com/ There was another processor monitor that has a security module attached to it. It would tell you if it was spyware and have a color associated with the app. I just can't remember the name of it. What other info programs do you use?

Moderators rridgely Posted November 2, 2006 Moderators Share Posted November 2, 2006 Depends on what kind of info your looking for. Process explorer is great. I use it all the time. Here is a list of "system information" programs.(freeware) http://www.snapfiles.com/Freeware/system/fwsysteminfo.html Just depends on what I'm doing really. Mainly I use belarc advisor, hijackthis(I guess it counts. It helps to know whats running on a pc that your not sitting at. ), process explorer.

burtman Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 It's a pity Microsoft have bought out Sysinternals ... such a great company - now gonna go downhill. (sigh) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDemolition Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 there's also Wininternals(owned by the same people). as for Sysinternals going down, i doubt it. i'm willing to bet that Process Explorer and maybe a few other tools will become part of Vista. the time is now to replace Task Manager with Process Explorer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, considering Microsoft's reputation on these kinds of issues, I doubt that will happen.

Contig would be a nice quick defragger to add-on for quick defragmentation of individual files and folders without having to defrag a whole partition. But then again I don't care what they put into Vista because I'll never buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
