Process Explorer supplies detailed information about all applications and processes running on the system, allowing users to easily identify and terminate unwanted programs.

Thus, Startup Explorer can help reduce security risks and increase system performance significantly. Launcher is a tool that may improve daily computer life by enabling fast hotkey access to an intelligently managed list of frequently used programs.
EndTask Pro
By Osama Abdel-Karim
The Pro edition of the EndTask family includes tools for blocking pop-up ads, managing tasks, monitoring system performance, monitoring your Internet connection and much more. Unlike other pop-up blockers, ours won''t kill pop-up windows you want. Our unique software hides pop-ups and just shows information about them. With a simple mouse hover you can take a peek and decide whether to show them. Otherwise, pop-ups will be automatically blocked after a few seconds. The technology is invisible to sites that try to detect and foil blockers. Its design isn''t based on a specific browser so it will work on most computers. There is no need to install any proxy servers or plug-ins. The Pro edition includes common features such as a "White list" and the classic "Instant-Blocker". Our task management software, like antivirus and firewall software, is critical for keeping your computer running like new. With numerous tools to monitor and control the code running on your machine, you can fine-tune your system and eradicate malware (trojans, spyware, adware, etc). The Pro edition logs vital information about your current and last Internet connection such as cost and speed, in addition to general statistics. You can record the duration an Internet connection was active for all types of Internet connections; i.e. the system was sending/receiving bytes. Also includes a Tracker bar which is a bar similar to windows taskbar that displays vital information such as your System performance and Internet speed in a small histogram. On shutdown, EndTask Pro will remind you if you forgot any media in any of your drives. Internet Connection speed, CPU/Memory usage, and Process CPU usage can be displayed as a histogram over the previous minute, or the average in the previous hour or day. We even have a smart reminder that notifies the user to walk around and take a break. It''s important to relax and protect your invaluable health!
ShellDispenser
By TwoLogs
When you often need to restart the Windows shell (Windows Explorer), you know what a hassle it can be to do it the "official" way. And so do we. That is why we have created ShellDispenser; a small utility that will make restarting the Windows shell that much easier. In the old days, you needed to use Task Manager to kill off Windows Explorer the hard way (which is the improper way by the way). An alternative was to use the "Turn off computer" screen, but that is even more cumbersome. ShellDispenser on the other hand allows you to restart your shell with the press of a key! If restarting the shell is a part of your job, then ShellDispenser is the tool you have been looking for! Some characteristics of ShellDispenser are: * Close, start and restart the shell with the press of a key * Which keys to use is fully customizable * Good on-line help support * Closes the shell the proper way (i.e. not by brutely terminating the process) * All shell operations can be performed from the command line for easy integration in scripts * Can be hidden in the notification area to make some room on your screen * Very small application size
