Prio - great little tool that improves the Windows Task Manager with handy additional features such as tooltips, process priority saving option, services tab, and many more. Really impressive utility that makes the Task Manager even more useful than before.
Editor's Description
Prio is a great tool that enhances the Windows Task Manager with handy additional features.
One of these features that this compact program provides is letting you easily save the priority you specify for any process. Just start the Task Manager, right-click a process and select Set Priority, and set the priority you want for the process. Prio will save the applied changes and each time you start this process from now on, it will set the saved priority for it. You will not have to change the priority manually any more.
Prio enhances the standard Processes tab of the Task Manager with useful tooltips containing detailed information about each one of the running processes: its name, manufacturer, version and full path to the executable file.
Prio also shows which system services are currently running in each process, if there are any. Prio adds a check box specifying whether the priority of this application should be restored to the standard popup menu, as well as the command for switching to one of the services that are currently in this process.Besides, the digital signature of an executable file is verified for each process. Processes that possess such a signature will be highlighted in green, processes without a signature will be highlighted in red. If you are sure about the origin of a process while its executable file has no digital signature, you can mark is as valid using the "Treat As Valid" menu item and it will be highlighted in green. If the executable file of this process is changed, it will become red again.
Moreover, Prio creates an additional Services tab in Task Manager's window, allowing you to easily view all installed system services with their statuses. It also lets you quickly start them, stop them and change the method they are started with. There are also tooltips with the description of each service (if there is such information for it).
Prio uses the additional TCP/IP tab to display all established TCP connections and all open ports (TCP and UDP). Both statistical data (the number of sent and received bytes) and rate is shown for each connection. There are also useful tooltips showing information about the process that established this connection. Besides, you can go to such processes immediately via the popup menu.
A "silent elevation" feature that allows specifying a given software for the administrative launch without UAC request is also provided.
Limitations:
- 30-day trial
