Daphne is a killer. I’m sorry to say she’s a killer of \t\t\t\tapplications. But if you ask her nicely she’ll kill an \t\t\t\tapplication politely – or just kill it dead without any \t\t\t\tconscience.<\/span><\/p>\n

Daphne is more than a killer though. She’s a task manager \t\t\t\treplacement that will steal your heart. She’s not so pretty but \t\t\t\tshe’s got brains and she’s always willing and ready to help you \t\t\t\twith those problem applications.<\/p>\n

She will make you forget about Task Manager, because Daphne does \t\t\t\tall that Task Manager does and more. Daphne can:<\/p>\n

1. Kill an application, service, or process politely or just \t\t\t\tkill it dead.
\n2. With a simple right-click she can make any window stay on top \t\t\t\tof the others – or bring a window into focus.
\n3. Daphne knows applications. If you have a question about \t\t\t\tsomething that is running on your computer – she can tell you \t\t\t\tall about it; just right-click the application and choose \t\t\t\t“Properties” and you’ll know everything Daphne knows. And she \t\t\t\tknows a lot.<\/p>\n

Daphne says:<\/p>\n

“Daphne is a small (system tray) application for killing, \t\t\t\tcontrolling and debugging Windows’ processes. It was born to \t\t\t\tkill a windows process and became almost a task manager \t\t\t\treplacement. You can kill a process by dragging the mouse over \t\t\t\tthe windows, by right-clicking the process in the main process \t\t\t\tlist, or by typing its name with the “Kill all by name” command. \t\t\t\tYou can set a any window to be always on top, to be transparent, \t\t\t\tto be enable, et cetera.<\/p>\n

Although Daphne was born just to kill windows process. You can \t\t\t\tthink of Daphne as a task manager replacement. The main window \t\t\t\tdisplays a list of currently running process with detailed \t\t\t\tinformation about: CPU usage, Process ID, Process name, Full \t\t\t\tpath (and arguments), Priority, Class (Process \/ Service), \t\t\t\tCurrent memory usage, Peek memory usage, Current swap usage, \t\t\t\tPeek swap usage and Number of threads.”<\/p>\n

Daphne even taught me something I never knew. I never knew about \t\t\t\tZombies. Well, I did, but only the kind that scared me when I \t\t\t\twas a kid. But Windows is full of zombies. Just you wait and \t\t\t\tsee. You’ll see all kinds of zombies running around on your \t\t\t\tcomputer. But don’t worry – they won’t hurt you or your \t\t\t\tcomputer. The kind of zombies Daphne shows you are different. \t\t\t\tDaphne explains:<\/p>\n

“A Zombie process is a process already finished. The operating \t\t\t\tsystem keeps a table of ended process if they were launched by \t\t\t\tanother application until the parent programme ends. This is not \t\t\t\ta virus nor malware but its presence may indicate an application \t\t\t\tmalfunction.”<\/p>\n

She held my hand through the hall of zombies and I came out \t\t\t\tunscathed. She’s quite a woman, that Daphne. She has replaced my \t\t\t\tone-time friend Task Manager. But you know it goes when you fall \t\t\t\tin love – you just don’t have time for your old friends anymore.<\/p>\n

Here’s a screen shot of Daphne at work, ain’t she pretty?<\/p>\n

\"Cloudeight<\/span><\/p>\n

If you’re not too buddy-buddy with your Task Manager, you \t\t\t\tshould invite Daphne to your computer and give her a try. I’m \t\t\t\tsure she’d woo you just like she did me. Oh Daphne! You’re the \t\t\t\tbest!<\/p>\n

Daphne enjoys working with Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 – and she’s doesn’t care if you’re 32bit or 64bit. \u00a0Daphne weighs only 1.5 MB; she’s quite petite. \t\t\t\tYou can pick her up \t\t\t\there<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
