Daphne: Drag and drop process explorer

Daphne
If you need to kill a process in Windows, or just try to figure out which program is using up all of your precious system resources, all you have to do is open the Windows Task Manager. But what if you want to kill a non-responsive program, but you can't figure out where it is in the Task Manager? Sometimes the process names don't seem to bear any resemblance to program names.

Daphne solves this problem, by letting you drag and drop a little crosshair onto any running program on your PC. At its most basic level, Daphne lets you figure out which process goes with which program by highlighting the process in a list of running processes.

But you can also use Daphne to kill running programs, hide applications, or killing every process with the same name. Daphne would be worth checking out for its highly configurable task manager alone. But the drag and drop function is what makes this free utility really killer.
