Hi there
You may find interesting the following 2 tools
1. ProcessScanner is a free download that scans a user’s PC and tells them exactly what’s running, what each process does, what program it’s associated with and measures resource usage. You can get it here:

2. ProcessQuickLink is a free plug-in for the Task Manager – it gives you click through info about each process in the list. http://www.processlibrary.com/quicklink
Hi there,
very nice application this one.
Still, I was looking for a similar one that would log the history of resource usage in Windows 2003 for a period, like can be done in *nix with “Top” or “prstat”.
It would be a nice feature to include in the future, maybe (at least I found no application for windows doing that).
