Ever wondered which program has a particular
file or directory open? Now you can find out. Process
Explorer shows you information about which handles and DLLs
processes have opened or loaded.
The Process Explorer display consists of two sub-windows.
The top window always shows a list of the currently active
processes, including the names of their owning accounts, whereas
the information displayed in the bottom window depends on the mode
that Process Explorer is in: if it is in handle mode you’ll
see the handles that the process selected in the top window has
opened; if Process Explorer is in DLL mode you’ll see the
DLLs and memory-mapped files that the process has loaded.
Process Explorer also has a powerful search capability that
will quickly show you which processes have particular handles
opened or DLLs loaded. (see picture 1).

The unique capabilities of Process Explorer make it useful for
tracking down DLL-version problems or handle leaks, and provide
insight into the way Windows and applications work. Process
Explorer works on Windows 9x/Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000,
Windows XP, Server 2003, and 64-bit versions of Windows for x64
processors.
