Just came across this useful software. Really useful indeed, especially for novice whose task manager is disabled and they cant enable through the Group Policy.
Extracts from DRACULA
One missing feature of the task manager in Windows 2000 and XP is the option to momentarily freeze a process. Setting the priority of the process to idle will not give the desired result.
For example, if you're running a process that consumes all the CPU time available, this causes the CPU to run at 100% capacity all the time. Even if this process runs with idle priority, it will use the CPU when possible. To prevent over-heating of your pc or laptop, you can freeze these processes when you're away from your computer.
The windows of a frozen process will remain visible, but will not be re-painted when another windows moves over it. Note that mouse-clicks and keystrokes are still sent to the process and will be executed as soon as the process resumes.
Warning: pausing and resuming processes might be harmful to your system, so use it with caution. To prevent serious damage, pausing of system processes is disabled.
