If you grab a column header with the mouse, you can pull it to wherever you want. You can highlight a piece of information, then copy and paste it into other documents etc. This basically summarises the data in each of the columns. If you double click on a line, a pop-up appears giving details of the process. Each time you press CTRL+Plus (on the keypad) the columns will auto-resize themselves. Scroll across the display to see the information offered on each connection. Press Alt + 1 to set an update time of one second, Alt + 2 for two seconds and so on. By default, the listing is unsorted and doesn’t automatically update, but we can change that. It will create a configuration file called cports.cfg in whichever folder you run it from (including the desktop). You can run CurrPorts from anywhere including the Desktop. If you run a 64-bit architecture, be sure to download the 64-bit version.

You can download CurrPorts from its homepage. Unlike Process Monitor, which is part of the excellent Windows Sysinternals suite, CurrPorts isn’t a massive firehose of events that needs taming to be of any use.
