Sysinternals Cool Tools: Updates and Sysinternals Live beta

May 28, 2008, 18:28(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

Updates: Process Explorer v11.20, ZoomIt v2.0, Sigcheck v1.53, Handle v3.4 and introducing Sysinternals Live beta.

Sysinternals Live: We’re excited to announce the beta of Sysinternals Live, a service that enables you to execute Sysinternals tools directly from the Web without hunting for and manually downloading them. Simply enter a tool’s Sysinternals Live path into Windows Explorer or a command prompt as \\live.sysinternals.com\tools\ or view the entire Sysinternals Live tools directory in a browser at http://live.sysinternals.com.

Process Explorer v11.20: Process Explorer now shows thread permissions, adds process working set minimum and maximum columns, and fixes a bug that allows it to run from read-only locations on 64-bit Windows.

ZoomIt v2.0: This major ZoomIt update adds the drawing color pink, adds screen blanking to the undo history, extends the maximum pen size from 9 to 19 pixels, has an option to hide the tray icon and makes it easy to save zoomed and annotated screens as bitmap files.

Sigcheck v1.53: The CSV column headers have been fixed to correctly reflect the extended version and hash options.

Handle v3.4: This release fixes a bug that allows it to run from read-only locations on 64-bit Windows and adds an option to show the sizes of pagefile-backed sections.

Process Monitor v1.33: This update to Process Monitor, a real-time file, thread, DLL and performance monitoring utility, improves 32-bit stack walking on 64-bit Windows, fixes a driver bug that could cause crashes on 64-bit Windows, and preserves profiling information by default when saving log files.

AccessChk v4.1: AccessChk, a command-line utility for analyzing effective permissions on files, registry keys, process and more, now interprets Windows Vista process owner rights and can show permissions on active threads.
