How can i tell which apps are hogging all of my IO ops, or stealing too much of memory using the Process Explorer?

How to analyze Process Explorer's graphs and data?

Go to View > Select Columns... and open the Process Performance tab and add the I/O ops you wish to be displayed. Then open the Process Memory tab and make your selections there.

You can click twice on the CPU column header to sort the process from highest to lowest based on CPU usage.
The same can be done with I/O columns once you have selected them as Molly suggested.

You just need Task Manager:
Go to Processes, menu entry View / Select Columns, and check either or all:
CPU Usage (gives percentage of total CPU in use)
Memory - Working Set (memory in use)
i/O Reads + I/O writes (counts total number of disk accesses done)

2Task Manager isn't nearly as helpful as Process Explorer. Clearly this person is looking for help using PE instead of Task Manager – Zooks64 – 2010-03-29T19:52:37.000
@gadzooks64: Simple solutions are best. Many people overlook the power of Task Manager. No need to downvote a helpful comment. – harrymc – 2010-03-29T20:55:20.040
2@harrymc I would have done the same thing if the OP had asked for help with Excel and someone replied with a solution suggesting they use Open Office. – Zooks64 – 2010-03-29T23:58:26.613
@gadzooks64: Not the same thing. Task Manager is standard in Windows and can be launched in more ways (ctrl-alt-del). It should be the preferred tool. – harrymc – 2010-03-30T06:36:02.240
