ProcessLibrary.com Quick Access

This little program is a free add-on for the Windows Task Manager, for finding out about what’s running on your computer.

Firstly, let’s get to the Windows Task Manager, this can tell you whats running on your computer. To get to it right click the taskbar (or press control-alt-delete), click Task Manager, and then click Processes. There you’ll see a list of all the processes running on your computer. A lot of this stuff is useful and needed stuff, but sometimes it can be unneeded stuff. It can be stuff that isn’t necessary and is just slowing up your computer by running, or it can even be bad stuff such as spyware.

So how can you know what all those things listed actually are? Well this program adds a little “I” link beside each thing listed (standing for ‘Information’ i guess!). So now with a simple click, it opens up a webpage telling you exactly what each one means. So you can learn exactly what it does and if it’s needed or not. Handy little program that saves a lot of typing into Google!

Theres over 9000 entries in the processlibrary.com database of running tasks,and more added weekly. So you’re pretty sure to find out what you’ve got running.

Here’s a task manager tip while we’re on the subject: You can easily see which programs are using the most RAM on your PC by clicking the memory column header in task manager to arrange them by memory use.This free little add-on program just does one useful job really well!
