Very competent C3P0 to help you in your faultfinding efforts. For example: What makes the CPU to run at near top speed when I believe the machine to be idle? Iip: By clicking one of the big icons. top right, you get a graph showing the last half minute´s activities when the cursor is left on the window. It also runs an icon in the quick tray showing angry colours when CPU is over-heating. Perfect companion to SysInternals´ "Autoruns". :-) !!
An essential must for lap-top users for help in conserving power.
Easy to learn, both programs.

if someone were inclined to write a guide describing how to set this up to test for application portability, i am sure it would be appreciated by many :)
just not sure what to filter to see if files are created or if registry entries are made/deleted...

If you're like me and don't like the bits it writes to the registry, you can try DTaskManager:

Getting a warning "
This version of Dbghelp.dll configured does not support the Microsoft Symbol Server. Please download and install the Microsoft Debugging Tools for Windows to get a version that does."
Anyone else seeing this?

It seems that this warning will continue to nag you upon launch unless you actually install the debugging tools which you may never otherwise use. Very irritating.

Installs a driver and writes it's settings in the registry. Not portable by my standards. Quite a few times Windows XP has crashed/restarted after using new sysinternals software. Maybe it's an incompatibility with older software that has been used, I'll never know, What I do know is I will stick to the older releases. Process Explorer is indispensable.

On Vista Home Premium, it runs out of memory... can't allocate a memory block of 459893316; closing the error closes the program. This shouldn't be happening.

I would really like to know why this is considered 'PORTABLE freeware' when it writes it's settings to the system registry. Anyone?!
