Full featured task manager
System Explorer is a complete tool that could be described as the standard Windows Task Manager on steroids.
This full-featured system analyzing tool lets you take a sneak peek at everything that's going on in your system, like currently active processes, network connections, startup applications, system services and opened files, among other elements.
System Explorer features a renewed interface with a top toolbar that gives you access to the different areas of information included in the program (Processes, Performance and History) and a main window to display the selected area.
The good thing about System Explorer is that it enables you not only to see what's brewing in your system, but also take action. You can end any active program, set the priority for a selected process or delete items from the startup menu. Another feature I specially liked in System Explorer is the ability to obtain more information about each process from Google and ProcessLibrary.com, or check it for virus with an online antivirus tool.
With a handful of configuration and customization options that put the finishing touch, System Explorer is efficient, useful and easy to use. Even if you're happy with the Windows Task Manager, you should give it a try. You have nothing to lose!
System Explorer is a full-featured task and process manager that gives you an exhaustive view of all the activities currently going on in your system.

Very thorough.
I've been using TaskManager, AnVir Task Manager and Sysinternals Process Explorer for quite some time now. This one offers more in one single interface and executes fairly fast.On the other hand, I've been experiencing a strange behavior of my Vista System for some time now. If Google Chrome is running, most of the times I'll be unable to open Jarte, Free Commander or Word (I use those on a daily basis). CleanMem will not help, it just does not run. This usually means I can't run any other application and can't even shut down Windows properly unless, sometimes, after waiting for ages and I mean for ages or, mostly, by just bluntly pushing the on/off switch (which I highly dislike, of course).Firefox is my default browser, but I use Chrome on a daily basis for my morning eMail "clean-up" where it helps to do the job faster. A partial solution is, of course to open the other apps before Chrome: they will then work normally together. Funny thing is that this behavior started with a "stable" 5.xxx version. Installing the Comodo Chrome flavor helped for some time, then it started again. Finally, some days ago, I installed and upgraded a Chrome 6.xxx beta and upgraded once. All went well but, bingo, yesterday it happened again!In my case, this is typical for Vista. I bought an HP installed machine (thinking this would prevent the Vista blues I'd been reading about). Well in less than 2 years I already had to reinstall it twice (last time in February) and just like in the Chrome "case", everything runs fine for some time and then starts to deteriorate, up until the point I cannot live with it any more. And I'm not an heavy user. Just daily Web browsing, Word an, occasionnaly, XL (Office XP: oh, how my Vista hates this "elderly" relative...), no games nor heavy video nor picture-editing. And, no, no trace of any malware to date!Although those Apps don't open, they apparently are "active": I can see all the processes in TaskManager (which usually does start, albeit very slowly, sometimes only after an Alt/Ctrl/Del), but am unable to kill them. Just nothing happens. On the rare occasions I was able to run System Explorer it could not end those processes either. I really had hoped it would!
Pros:
- 1-spot, all-in one System management.
- Fairly fast
Cons:
Cannot kill processes if TaskManager can't (in my case) More
