I use it a lot, one of the starting points to troubleshooting stuff. Tree view and viewing original command lines commands are especially useful.

Yeah, it’s bit heavy. But comparing to deeper troubleshooting utilities like Process Monitor that can easily gulp few gigs of RAM – I can live with Process Explorer. :)

And anyway I hadn’t seen a better one, some task manager are more focused on security or other but Process Explorere is best general-purpose one.

PS unfortunately no advice on Firefox from me, I am into Opera :)

I can imagine that this will chew up the resources. It could be a nice toy. I will give it a look a bit later. Firefox is freezing up on me so much since the last Firefox update that I get to see the Task Manager quite often. This could make for a nice change. Thanks for the info.
