About Handle
Handle is targeted at searching for open file references, so if you do not specify any command-line parameters it will list the values of all the handles in the system that refer to open files and the names of the files. It also takes several parameters that modify this behavior.
When in search mode, Handle prints the process names and id's are listed on the left side and the names of the objects that had a match are on the right.
