Rep Power: 1 | I mentioned it in one of the threads but I think it deserves a thread on itself, lest people miss it in other threads. We all know the crippled task manager Win XP gives us. To increase the functionality of the task manager, and to maintain sanity while going through the the list of processes you can install a software called Prio. It marks unrecognised processes in red, Ii can also remember the priority set for processes. But the best enhancement is that it shows a services tab in t, and shows you the path of the executable the Task Manager itself using which you can start/stop services in no time. Moreover, you can also set the startup mode of the services from task manager itself. It Try it , I'm sure you'll love the accessibility. |

Rep Power: 1 | Sure there are many task managers out there. I was just talking about simple solution, no running processes, no extra memory required. Prio becomes a part of the task manager provided by XP, and its Free (for personal use only). Have a look Prio - Priority Saver |
