ProcessQuickLink2Advanced users don’t have problems in dealing with the Windows Task Manager. When the computer is on the verge of crashing, they simply press Ctrl+Alt+Del and remove the one process that is compromising the system’s stability. No big deal!

Casual users are a different thing. The Windows Task Manager is a nonsensical gibberish of names and percentages that doesn’t make any sense to them, let alone encourages them to take action. How are they supposed to know what to do if they can hardy identify the different active processes?

For all those who don’t feel comfortable yet when messing up with the Task Manager (we’ve all gone through that stage at some point during our lives as computer users), ProcessQuickLink2 can make things a bit easier. This simple tool is loaded on your system and remains running in the background without apparently changing anything. But if you press Ctrl+Alt+Del to open the Windows Task Manager you’ll notice a small green icon to the left of each running process. Clicking on this icon will open a web browser with more information on the selected active process.

So next time you’re not sure whether you should end a given process or not, or if you simply want to learn more about what’s cooking on your system, give this a try.
