“Windows Sysinternals: Documentation, downloads and additional resources provides a set of tools to get information about various functionalities on the system. The area of information include , process running on the system, file operations, registry operations, TCP/IP related tasks, security etc. The complete list of the tools available can be found here, Sysinternals Utilities. Though there are separate web-pages to view the introduction of each tool and download the tool, there is a dedicated page to download all the tool at once, Sysinternals Suite .

Sysinternals Live, Sysinternals Live is a service that enables you to execute Sysinternals tools directly from the Web without hunting for and manually downloading them. Simply enter a tool’s Sysinternals Live path into Windows Explorer or a command prompt as http://live.sysinternals.com/<toolname> or \\live.sysinternals.com\tools\<toolname>.

You can view the entire Sysinternals Live tools directory in a browser at http://live.sysinternals.com.

The tools available through Sysinternals are very helpful in various troubleshooting scenarios, and I use some of them on daily basis. Here I will try to explain my understanding about the tool and How to I get a particular information through them. It is not possible to demonstrate all of them at once, so this blog-post will get updated over-time whenever I have something to add or edit to it.
