   Review - System Explorer

   2.0 Beta 1 (Oct 16, 2009)

   Nice program. I like the level of detail that I can get on the processes (eg, dll list)
   
   1) I wish I could set the program to launch in minimized mode, so that only the tray icon would appear until I click on it. Even if I create a shortcut to the executable file and set the shortcut to launch in minimized mode, launching the shortcut still results in the full system explorer program window opening. (Because of this, I will probably stick with Process Explorer as my main utility for now. Also, process explorer allows the system tray icon to be a miniature graph of CPU, which is nice.)
   
   1b) a bug seems to be that if I launch the application from a shortcut (in this case my shortcut was set to run in minimized mode), if I minimize the application window to the tray icon, and then click on the tray icon to bring up the window again, a small extra window also comes up named "SystemExplorerTrayForm"
   
   2) a nice feature would be if I could set the program to monitor for a specific process (eg, svchost.exe) and warn me with a dialog box, system tray balloon, or something like that when the process crosses a CPU % threshold that I set. (I happen to have a problem that this process sometimes goes haywire and ceases all my CPU and I like to know as soon as this happens rather than just by all my applications going slow and the cooling fan revving up. I have checked out a several improved replacements for windows task manager like your program. All are better than task manager, but none seemed to offer a monitor/notification feature.
