It is a advanced process management utility from Sysinternals. It shows you detailed information about a running process like its icon, Image path, command line, current directory, memory statistics, performance graph, network connections, security, environment and more. You can have a closer look of a running process to see the list of DLLs it has loaded or the operating system resource handles it has open.

This utility can be used as a replacement of the standard Task manager of Windows operating system. Like the task manager, you can kill a process or its tree, see the CPU cycles and memory a process takes.

If the process explorer in ‘DLL’ mode, the lower pane will show the list of DLLs and memory mapped files the selected process has loaded. If it is in ‘Handle’ mode, the lower pane will show the list of handles the selected process has opened.
