Now you can find out. Process Explorer shows you information about which handles and DLLs processes have opened or loaded.<br /> * 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.</p> <p>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.<br /> <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx</a></p> <p>autorun</p> <p><a href="http://www.diamondcs.com.au/" rel="nofollow">http://www.diamondcs.com.au/</a> * most are free</p> <p>ASViewer allows you to instantly view over 50 different autostart locations to check (and have complete control over) which programs are starting automatically when Windows starts.</p> <p>all are free and work on windows 98 to windows 7 </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/5778#post-60684 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 03:14:48 +0000 Paul F.

I don't have exactly the right program, but the closest I know is TrID. You can put it in your Program Files, install some definitions, and make a custom items so that when you click on it it feeds the program into TrID and tells you what the file is most likely to be. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/5778#post-60467 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 09:38:03 +0000 Postyr 60467@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Not so much a suggestion, but also a request.</p> <p>I would really like to find a program (free or otherwise) that allows you to right click a file in Explorer or My Computer that from the context menu allows you to see what programs use that file, and vice versa.</p> <p>For instance, check an DLL file to see what installed programs use it. Also, check an EXE file to se what files are needed for that program to run.</p> <p>I did have that facility many years ago on a very old computer, but I have forgotten what program it was that achieved it.</p> <p>Cheers,<br /> Postyr </p>
