Introduction
Ever wondered which program has a particular file or directory open? Nowyou can find out. Process Explorer shows you information about whichhandles and DLLs processes have opened or loaded.
The Process Explorer display consists of two sub-windows. The topwindow always shows a list of the currently active processes, includingthe names of their owning accounts, whereas the information displayed inthe bottom window depends on the mode that Process Explorer is in: ifit is in handle mode you'll see the handles that the process selected inthe top window has opened; if Process Explorer is in DLL mode you'llsee the DLLs and memory-mapped files that the process has loaded.Process Explorer also has a powerful search capability that willquickly show you which processes have particular handles opened or DLLsloaded.
The unique capabilities of Process Explorer make it useful fortracking down DLL-version problems or handle leaks, and provide insightinto the way Windows and applications work.
