Handy little link.

Found this link:
www.processlibrary.com

It brings up a simple looking page with a search box in it. If you want to know what a particular process is or does type it in and click search.
You can of course get similar results by doing a goggle search but this link is more task specific and you don't need to scroll through lots of 'hits' hits to find what you want.

Yeah, Uniblue has been providing that services for many years. Not crazy about their other services, but their process library is invaluable.

There are a couple others - http://www.pcpitstop.com/libraries/process/
http://exelib.com/
http://www.tasklist.org/

I tried some Uniblue software a while ago. Was not all that taken with it. Avoided it since.

Yeah, I don't trust programs that promise to make your system run better than it ever did.

Hey, hey, hey guys, have you forgotten Ian's website?

Thanks for remembering FC

I ended up taking down the process database part for the time being, as there was a problem with the URL parsing - it will be back up soon though.

You're welcome
Mmmm. I never liked Windows-based servers. Prone to so much disaters
I suppose you use IIS or whatever it's called; would be very simple on Apache, with one line of htaccess :P
