Remote Process Explorer
What it is
Remote Process Explorer is a Windows utility for viewing and controlling processes on local and remote computers in real time. It can stop processes, launch new ones, change priorities, and shut down or restart a remote computer. Process views show process and parent IDs, CPU and memory use, priority, handles, threads, and a process tree. Computer-management tools include groups, on/off status, automatic list refresh, an Add Computers Wizard, and separate accounts. The maker says remote machines need no additional installation because built-in operating-system functions are used. The program can run on a user’s network without registration. A free Personal License is limited to non-commercial use on one computer and excludes support and maintenance. Business licensing costs $149.95, paid once per machine; Corporate licensing costs $2,999.95, paid once for unlimited installations in one organization.
