To improve your system security and speed it helps to find out more about the processes that run on your PC. Unfortunately unknown processes can establish a connection through the internet to send personal data to a hacker and usually there are also a few processes that consume a lot of resources. Wouldn’t it be great to know the exact location of that process to investigate it?

You won’t believe it, but there is a built-in function that is simply disabled by default which you can use to find out the path to system processes.

1. Open the Task Manager

2. Goto “View” – “Select Columns”

3. Scroll down and check “Image Path Name” and click on apply.

4. Done!

The task manager is a useful tool for everyone! You can use it to track your uptime and memory/cpu usage, to identify/start/stop system process or to close applications.

If you want to customize your task manager here is a great skin for it.

You can download the skin here.
