Windows - tools for developers

Found 2 very cool tools for application developers on Windows. I have been using these for testing my apps on Windows XP. They're quite cool, especially the ProcessExplorer one. ProcessExplorer shows almost everything about a running process - open registry entries, threads, file handles, sockets and their states etc. etc.

The other tool is FileMon that displays the current file sytem activity in real-time. Apart from normal open files and directories, it also lets us track named pipes - so you can debug IPC between applications if they use pipes.
