For those who like TaskManger this is very nice:
Show Application icons in Processes list (if available)
Use different color for services
Find a used file by any process.
(Use * as file name for showing every used file)
(The search is a full text search, so for example you can use the extension only)
Find a used module by any process
(The search is a full text search, so for example you can search for "kernel")
Show Process ID in Applications tab
Use different color for processes if the CPU usage reaches a given limit ( 25%, 50%, 75% )
Query list of every files, handles, modules, windows used by a given process
Close a used file (you can unlock an exclusively opened file, so you can delete it)
Unload a used module (so you can delete it)
You can kill services too
Fast end process. Press DEL key!

Just start the exe, leave it running in the background (you should see nothing happening). Now press Ctrl-Shift-Esc or right click on an empty area on the taskbar, choose Task Manager, and you will see the windows task manager spiced up.

I don't know. I tried it on several XPs and it worked ....
I have XP Service Pack 1 + hotfixes up to date.
Maybe you people have some utitlities that might prevent this app from hooking TaskManager. I don't know any but I can imagine that scenario. This is, potentionaly dengerous method, since it intercepts API's before TaskMgr can see them, but it is the only one if you want to keep TaskManager.
It is also open-source and it was not intended to be community application but example of code injection so if sombody can't leave with periodic crashes when using Extra Menu options (not so usual task) it can search and make corrections to the code.
I think it is nice (although I don't use TaskMgr)... and according to what I see, procedures used for hooking didn't do anything nasty or problematic....

May be because I use "Quick Access InfoBar" from http://www.processlibrary.com/quickaccess/
But I don't have it in the Autorun. So may be it's the DLL of this program hooking and prevent
"Task Manager Extension DLL" from working.
I'll uninstall "Quick Access InfoBar" and look if TME works then.
EDIT: Does'nt work. Even if I restart the system.

Kaspersky doesn't report any code injection, neither with Quick Access InfoBar nor Task Manager.
@TychoBarfy:
Do you see the i-icons with Quick Access InfoBar? Well, I don't see them here, the only thing that works is that processlibrary.com box.
Maybe you can try that on your SP1 box, majkinetor? If you see those blue icons on your box while we don't, I'd guess that SP2 is the "problem".
Edit:
Ah well, if it works for SanskritFritz under SP2, maybe it's Kaspersky preventing the hook.

This is not officialy code injection in the worst scenario. No code is injected brute force, but the code is intercepted, that is, Hook is something that is called before and after calling proccess which should originaly receive windows messages while code injection can change anything, from parameters to functions to function assembler instructions. Hooking is standard technique implemented by many programs (WindowBlinds, for instance) so protection software may behave differently when they encounter one. Tiny Personal Firewall we surelly report this as code injection, while NOD32 doesn't mention a thing.
Anyway, it is not tested product... if it works it works if don't forget about it. But it is very nice, nevertheless. I am wondering how nobody did it before
NOTE: I recall that Win9x has somwhere in system utilities information about all hooks installed in the system. If this app doesn't work for you something is wrong with the hook, so I guess there are some apps out there which can inspect installed hooks for XP for those that care.
