Hello FlyHawaiian!

This is a tool I use often to review what's taking resources on my system. I've actually replaced Task Manager with this. Of course, Task Manager is still available if I wish to revert back to it.

TechnoHippy agrees: Who would ever want task manager back

thank you DCiAdmin...i will download this and see what happens...sorry for my late response....what could be the cause of explorer.exe running abnormally high though? seems like when i use convertxtodvd it start to ramp up and even when i finish the program and close it out explorer.exe seems to keep running high. I've seen CPU usage around 55k up to and over 100k sometimes and I cant ever remember my computer ever doing this in the past at all. I have even contemplated wiping the hard drive and starting all over

I'm not sure what might be the cause. That's why I've recommended Process Explorer
