There's 3 scripts inside of this archive that i've included of my own written ones.

• KillExplorer
• GetTopProcess
• GetServices

KillExplorer - This script basically finds the ProcID of explorer.exe by searching for it's name in your current running processes, and kills it. Upon killing the process explorer.exe is also restarted, nice and clean way of refreshing your system if you need to restart your explorer.exe to do something

GetTopProcess, this finds and sorts processes in descending order based upon CPU usage, and displays the top 5 most CPU hungry processes currently running on your system. Use it if you're curious about CPU consumage.

GetServices - Displays a full list of all running and stopped processes in a sorted organized view, with a statistical message before the script exits with a count of each running and stopped processes.

To execute PowerShell scripts, what environment do we need to install?

[KoBE]

It's built on-top of the .Net Framework so you will need to be running windows with it installed. It comes installed by default on Win7 (Click Start, click Programs, click Accessories, click the Windows PowerShell folder, and then click the Windows PowerShell item).

If you do not have it installed, then it's really easy: Download Windows PowerShell 2.0

Got it to work, thanks KoBE.

KoBE's getting into Powershell? Pretty awesome

Also, that KillExplorer script is extended lol, there's a one liner variation of doing all of that, but I guess I just wanted to get carried away with it !
