Process Explorer version 11.21 from Microsoft Sysinternals, is just released on August 8, 2008. The new version fixes a race condition bug in the Process Explorer device driver.
Process Explorer is an advanced process management utility for Microsoft Windows, that is more powerful than Window’s Task Manager. It will show you detailed information about a process including its icon, command-line, full image path, memory statistics, user account, security attributes, and more. When you examine a particular process, you can list the DLLs it has loaded or the operating system resource handles it has open. A search capability enables you to track down a process that has a resource opened, such as a file, directory or Registry key, or to view the list of processes that have a DLL loaded. You can make Process Explorer to replace the builtin Task Manager too.
You can download it here.
