Does anyone know of any good free alternatives to the standard Windows Task Manager besides the Resource Monitor? I'm looking for a lightweight program that displays detailed info about my CPU, RAM, Hard Drive, processes, services, and etc.

Sysinternals Process Explorer is a good Task Manager replacement, but it's more for, well, processes/services than for system info. It's lightweight; no install needed, just unpack.

A great alternative to Process Explorer is Process Hacker. It's also free but this one is open-source. Same informations, some more features.
