This is the software publisher’s description.
Ever wondered which program has a particular file or directory open? Now you can find out. Process Explorer shows you information about which handles and DLLs processes have opened or loaded.
The Process Explorer display consists of two sub-windows. The top window always shows a list of the currently active processes, including the names of their owning accounts, whereas the information displayed in the bottom window depends on the mode that Process Explorer is in: if it is in handle mode, you’ll see the handles that the process selected in the top window has opened; if Process Explorer is in DLL mode, you’ll see the DLLs and memory-mapped files that the process has loaded. Process Explorer also has a powerful search capability that will quickly show you which processes have particular handles opened or DLLs loaded.
The unique capabilities of Process Explorer make it useful for tracking down DLL-version problems or handle leaks and provide insight into the way Windows and applications work.

Picture used for review
I'm not sure where that pic comes from - it looks like the old Windows 2000 -Windows XP task manager, it is not at all representative of Process Explorer. Though you can get many different looks for Proc Explorer by tweaking settings, the above picture is not one of them. As far as the SysInternals utilities go, don't use a Windows computer without them! Proc Explorer is the most well known, but all are useful if you are anything but oblivious to how your system works.
