    I prefer Extended Task Manager. DTaskManager is also ok.

  2. I recently discovered the open source Yet Another Process Monitor (YAPM), I don't like the fact that it requires .NET 3.5 (not a problem on my desktop, but might be a problem on some servers). I'm also not a big fan of the office 2007 style UI.

    Interesting features:

    • Remote process viewing via WMI or its own server. I have not experimented with either of these but will.
    • A panel to view tasks like in Task manager. I actually might take a peak at the source code to see how one lists tasks via the windows API.

  3. CurrProcess is nice (lighter than PE).

    It might be helpful to know what problem you're trying to solve. Process Explorer is pretty comprehensive.
