Sysinternals Live: Grab all the latest Sysinternals utilities in one place
by Brad Linder May 29th 2008 at 12:00PM
Here are a few of our favorite Sysinternals apps:
Process Explorer - This is a replacement for the Windows Task Explorer that gives you detailed information about your CPU and RAM usage as well as running processes.
Autoruns - This utility lets you easily manage the programs and processes that launch every time Windows starts.
Contig - This is a powerful command-line disk defragmenter.
You can access these programs by typing \\live.sysinternals.com\tools\contig.exe or autoruns.exe or procexp.exe into your Windows Explorer. You can run programs this way even if you haven't previously downloaded and installed them. Or if you just want easy access to the installers, you can also use http://live.sysinternals.com/contig.exe.
If you know the name of the utility you want, you can create a browser bookmark that will always link to the latest version.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game".

Bleh, contig hasn't been updated since the last time I got it. Of course, it could mean that contig has reached program perfection and doesn't need an update anymore. :p

for everyone with the (highly recommended) windows version of wget do something like
wget -np -A exe -N -r -l1 http://live.sysinternals.com/
which will get you all the latest .exe files from this page and not download anything you already have unless the web version is newer
