PROGRAM NAME: Process Explorer LINK: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx DESCRIPTION: Process Explorer is a comprehensive application that lets you examine in great detail (and in real time) what is going on "behind the scenes" with your system. It is also a Task Manager on steroids. Highly configurable "must have" troubleshooting tool. Wasn't sure if this would be a double since the full Sysinternals Suite has already been nominated...

PROGRAM NAME: Autoruns LINK: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx DESCRIPTION: This utility, which has the most comprehensive knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs are configured to run during system bootup or login, and shows you the entries in the order Windows processes them. These programs include ones in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other Registry keys. You can configure Autoruns to show other locations, including Explorer shell extensions, toolbars, browser helper objects, Winlogon notifications, auto-start services, and much more. Autoruns goes way beyond the MSConfig utility bundled with Windows Me and XP. Dave -- Registered Linux user # 444770

PROGRAM NAME: SpeedFan LINK: http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php DESCRIPTION: SpeedFan is a program that monitors voltages, fan speeds and temperatures in computers with hardware monitor chips. SpeedFan can even access S.M.A.R.T. info for those hard disks that support this feature and show hard disk temperatures too, if supported. SpeedFan supports SCSI disks too. SpeedFan can even change the FSB on some hardware. At the lowest level, SpeedFan is a hardware monitor software that can access digital temperature sensors, but its main feature is that it can change fan speeds (depending on the capabilities of your sensor chip and your hardware) according to the temperatures inside your pc, thus reducing noise.

PROGRAM NAME: UnxUtils LINK: http://sourceforge.net/projects/unxutils DESCRIPTION: GNU utilities for Win32 - some ports of common GNU utilities to native Win32. In this context, native means the executables only depend on the Microsoft C-runtime (msvcrt.dll) and not an emulation layer like that provided by Cygwin tools. REMARKS: BeAr: Compilation of common GNU commandline utilities to native Win32. Compared to other implementations, the UnxUtils compilation consists of very stable and fast tools with exceptional support of command line switches. The installation directory should be added to the Windows search path to use the tools from anywhere.
