Process Monitor is an advanced monitoring tool for Windows that shows real-time file system, Registry and process/thread activity. It combines the features of two legacy Sysinternals utilities, Filemon and Regmon, and adds an extensive list of enhancements including rich and non-destructive filtering, comprehensive event properties such session IDs and user names, reliable process information, full thread stacks with integrated symbol support for each operation, simultaneous logging to a file, and much more. Its uniquely powerful features will make Process Monitor a core utility in your system troubleshooting and malware hunting toolkit. For the strange, unexplained, and just plain odd issues that you come across where you need to know the exact files accessed when opening a program, and what they are using and how much they are using, use Process Monitor. Previously I would have recommended filemon and regmon, but since they combined the two, why download two programs when one will do?

• Monitoring of process and thread startup and exit
• Monitoring of image loads
• monitors and displays file system activity
• seeing how applications use the files and DLLs
