Task Manager v2.0.Īnd one of the most interesting things that Process Explorer has are the additions Mark’s made to accomodate Windows Vista. One of his most famous tools, and a personal favorite of mine, is Process Explorer… the Professional’s Task Manager. Mark was about to go into his talk on malware & Windows Vista when the two of us started talking about the acquisition of Winternals and how things had been 'life after acquisition' so to speak.

My biggest gripe is that I press X and it actually closes itself so the graphs hadn't been capturing when I go back to look at it.We were in a presentation room, when I struck up a conversation with Mark Russinovich, Technical Fellow here at Microsoft, and one of the 2 founders of Winternals/Sysinternals. I'm sure some of this is accessible somewhere in the internals of ProcExp but I've greatly enjoyed Process Hacker.

And finally, the filter field is in the top-right of the main window, which makes it a lot easier to get to. The better visibility of I/O traffic makes it simple to associate, for example, the internal handle for the mouse object, since my mouse requires intercepting/sampling to use all 7 buttons. The 'System Information' graph is much more informative in that you can mouse over the spikes and see which process is causing them. You can set it to permanently remember process priorities and automatically apply them. Process properties show tokens, much better overall/accumulated stats view for a process, process modules and heap regions, and so on. It's easier to supervise the activity by using the tabs on the main window to see all ongoing Disk, Network, or Service jobs. There are more graphs per process and the interface is customizable. So using handle -s to get a summary, my system shows this - I would think all would be represented in Procexp: Do you mean handle types it represents, or does it show handles from sub-processes? I've found the content to be the same as I get from handle.exe from Russinovich. I don't understand the question, likely because I'm not a programmer.
