Love the kill and process priority options, though I wonder if I can even reach them when I need to access them. Usually ctrl+alt+delete works better because the task manager gets a higher task priority by default, and the right-click menu does not. Great find!

It was covered by Lifehacker back in November ( http://lifehacker.com/5094914/process-manager-prioritizes-kills-running-apps-via-right+click ), and received just under 6,000 downloads that month:https://sourceforge.net/project/stats/detail.php?group_id=220483&ugn=processpriority&type=prdownload&mode=alltime&package_id=0&release_id=0I've been running AnVir Task Manager to get something similar: instead of the "hide" and "kill" options, you get "resize", "always minimize to tray", and "create floating icon". The tray icon(s) allow for wonderfully flexible and powerful resource monitoring, and it's a supercharged task manager that rivals Process Explorer. If you don't want all that overhead (34MB RAM), Process Manager is certainly just fine, and the option to kill the process is a big advantage. I don’t know where you got that “under 150″ downloads.
