Thanks a lot! SysInternals, NirSoft tools and anything that I can find for Windows is very very much appreciated. (At home I'm sticking to OSX and Ubuntu, but at work the situation is rather different - I'm often finding myself arguing with myself - at home I prefer gnome/gtk, at work I better stick to Windows.Forms, hehehe).
