WinHier

Learning more about your system and its inherent characteristics can go beyond reading documentation and relying on special help sections. WinHier works as a utility and provides the means to gather and analyze more information about users’ window hierarchy of the active instances, processes or even tasks.

Simple solutions are best and right off the start the app impresses through its relatively small size and quite straightforward setup process. A portable version is also provided, thus ensuring that even those who prefer to work “on-the-fly” are being covered.

The layout is intuitive and much resembles that of a standard task manager app, offering a listing of all the opened windows, their hierarchic scheme or processes.

Search function helps narrow down processes or windows and three different display types ensure an accurate overview

Besides listing all the active windows and processes or threads, the app also offers a neat little search field, which can considerably speed-up finding a particular instance. Upon inputting the search string, the app will automatically display and highlight the matches in the list.

In order to cover a greater range of uses, there are three main display types available, a desktop-tree, process-window or process-thread types. Each will offer different advantages, depending on what users prefer to visualize.

This program addresses users who seek a lightweight tool for viewing a live listing of all the active windows, processes or threads on their systems. Featuring a basic interface with simplified handling, it does offer as an extra feature a dedicated search field, which can help users narrow down results when wanting to display a particular process or task.
