Suggestion: Advanced option to use Process Explorer instead of Task Manager

menace97 Před 7 roků • aktualizováno od Michael (Ramen Software) Před 7 roků • 8

After years of using Sysinternals Process Explorer instead of the default Task Manager in Windows, it would be very helpful to add a custom command to choose an alternate program within 7+ Taskbar Tweaker.


The option where this comes into play is "Double click on empty space" where I used to often set this to "Task Manager".


Thanks for taking this suggestion under consideration... much appreciated as always! :)

That's actually possible. Please see my answer here:

Back again RaMMicHaeL,


I have tried to implement this using your example, but I have stumbled to do this - I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I have added an entry in the Advanced Options in the Mouse Button Control section, using:

  • Name: ctrl+shift+lclick
  • Data: 1000


For some reason, when I go to edit the registry in regedit, I see an entry is created under Mouse Button Control key, but is a DWORD value. When I go down to the Strings key, I don't see an entry there.



Do I need to create a new String value in the Strings key to match the above Name/Data?

Once that value is created I was then going to substitute the '1000' with the location of 'Process Explorer' as a portable application. e.g.:

  • "D:\SOFTWARE\WINDOWS SYSINTERNALS\PROCESS EXPLORER\PROCEXP.EXE"
Thanks for any insight into finishing up this endeavor to launch Process Explorer through 7+ Taskbar Tweaker, I really appreciate the help! :)

Did you do the following step?

  • Hold Ctrl and left-click the taskbar (or use the click that you have set). If it was done correctly, Notepad will be launched.

Was Notepad launched?

I did go back and yes, Notepad successfully launched.

I did go back and yes, Notepad successfully launched. :)

So I then replaced Notepad.exe with the location of the 64-bit Process Explorer:


  • "D:\SOFTWARE\WINDOWS SYSINTERNALS\PROCESS EXPLORER\PROCEXP64.EXE"

and that worked perfectly by holding Ctrl and left-clicking  the taskbar!


If I were to set 'Double click on empty space' in 7+ Taskbar Tweaker = Nothing (default)

and change the entry you had me create from:

emptyspace|ctrl+lclick   to   emptyspace|ldblclick


that should work as the replacement for opening Process Explorer instead of Task Manager?


So adding a Mouse Button Control advanced option would override the 'double click on empty space = Nothing' in the main interface? This shouldn't cause any conflicts?


Thanks RaMMicHaeL! Much appreciated. :)

I'm glad that it works now.

You can use emptyspace|ldblclick, it shouldn't cause conflicts.
