Now, if you create multiple Column Sets you can toggle between them by entering CTRL+1, CTRL+2, etc. You can then choose to save the column set for future use by selecting View -> Save Column Set In this example I have chosen columns that would help with debugging malware: To do this, right click on the columns and click Select Columns. You can enable several additional columns in process explorer. This is useful to diagnose headless servers, etc. Once at the logon screen, press Shift 5 times and cmd.exe will open where you can run process explorer. You can do this by adding an Image File Execution Option for Sticky Keys (sethc.exe) and have it open cmd.exe.
When you select to have process explorer replace task manager, it is actually making use of the Image File Execution Options which replaces taskmon.exe with procmon.exe.Īnother useful way to start ProcMon is at the Windows Logon Screen (CTRL+ALT+DEL). One of the most useful ways to run ProcExp is before logon, or as a replacement to Task Manager. If you start ProcExp in standard mode, you’ll notice it has extra options to Show Details for All Processes:Īlso, if you every have issues opening ProcExp, you should clear its registry key at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sysinternals.
I recommend starting ProcExp.exe from an elevated command prompt, so that it opens in administrative mode. This UNC path is a service provided by Microsoft and is referred to as Sysinternals Live. The set of tools is now available on any Windows computer by opening \\\tools\ in a file explorer. Microsoft acquired Winternals on July 18, 2006, which included Sysinternals and the utilities within it. Sysinternals was originally created in 1996 by Winternals Software and was started by Bryce Cogswell and Mark Russinovich. Process Explorer is a part of Windows Sysinternals which is a set of utilities to manage, diagnose, troubleshoot, and monitor Windows.
This is the most downloaded tool of the Sysinternals toolkit, with over 3 Million downloads a year. Process Explorer shows you information about which handles and DLLs processes have opened or loaded. This tutorial helped me develop my technical skills and become more familiar with the Sysinternals toolkit. I also cover how to enable additional columns in ProcExp, and how to save column sets for future use. This tutorial covers a variety of topics, including how to start ProcExp in administrative mode, how to find running processes and those that close quickly, how to understand threads with Service Host (svchost.exe), and how to hunt for a virus. Process Explorer is a tool within the Windows Sysinternals utilities that shows information about which handles and DLLs processes have opened or loaded. I created a tutorial for Process Explorer (ProcExp) to help me practice my skills for an upcoming interview to be a Sr Solutions Architect at Microsoft.
