Recommended Tools for Windows -> System Explorer

Many times performance problems can be resolved by understanding what programs are hogging your precious system resources. This tool helps to figure those things out. I ask my friends and family members to install this so that when it comes time to figure out and solve a problem that we can use it to assist in the troubleshooting process.

This is a very good tool to see what is running and taking resources on your computer.

When installing, accept defaults until you get to the screen for "Select additional tasks". On this screen, I suggest unselecting everything. This will enable the program to run only when you want it to run. Since you will run this only when you want to figure out what is going on with your system, it is fine to select it from the start menu.
