How about one for the Blackberry? I have for WinCE/Mobile. But could really use one for the BB! – geoffc Jun 10 '09 at 19:38
Perhaps you should ask a separate question about a blackberry task manager. – Justin Dearing Jun 10 '09 at 19:50

I prefer Extended Task Manager. DTaskManager is also ok.

Extended Task Manager looks neat. – Justin Dearing Jun 11 '09 at 2:37

I recently discovered the open source Yet Another Process Monitor (YAPM), I don't like the fact that it requires .NET 3.5 (not a problem on my desktop, but might be a problem on some servers). I'm also not a big fan of the office 2007 style UI.

Interesting features:

  • Remote process viewing via WMI or its own server. I have not experimented with either of these but will.
  • A panel to view tasks like in Task manager. I actually might take a peak at the source code to see how one lists tasks via the windows API.

CurrProcess is nice (lighter than PE).

It might be helpful to know what problem you're trying to solve. Process Explorer is pretty comprehensive.

I'm not really trying to solve a problem, I just want to know what else is out there.. – Justin Dearing Sep 11 '09 at 17:14
Fair enough. Don't forget about tasklist.exe and taskkill.exe .. they are quite handy sometimes :) – Seth Sep 11 '09 at 18:43
