DiskAction -  tray icon is a picture of a hard disk with a light that
flashes green to indicate activity. To see the last twelve processes that
accessed the disk, double-click the tray icon. Monitor several disks at
once, or launch separate instances of DiskAction to monitor each drive
separately. The color of the DiskAction tray icon will change depending on
the disk or disks you are monitoring. You can see activity on network drives
if the activity originates on your computer, and the network drive is
accessed through a mapped drive letter. FREE

EndItAll2 - EndItAll 2 lists all the programs running on your system, and
lets you decide which ones to close down. The processes necessary for basic
system operation are protected from termination. From the remaining
processes, you can choose which to close, which to kill (close down
forcibly), and which to protect. Once you know which files you want to shut
down, you can configure EndItAll for automatic action via script or batch
file. This is useful for backups and defrags during off-hours. Options let
you block power management and the screen saver during operation. FREE
