Command / CMD Process Explorer for Windows

Ever run into a situation where your task manager is no longer functional due to a virus / trojan. This tool is a command line version of the task manager which allows you to see processes and kill them. I came along this handy little tool under this exact same circumstance.

To view the process tree

X:\Documents and Settings\admin\Desktop\tools>Process.exe
