Process Monitor is a free tool from Windows Sysinternals, part of the Microsoft TechNet website. The tool monitors and displays in real-time all file system activity on a Microsoft Windows operating system. It combines two older tools, FileMon and RegMon and is used in system administration, computer forensics, and application debugging.
Process Monitor monitors and records all actions attempted against the Microsoft Windows Registry. Process Monitor can be used to detect failed attempts to read and write registry keys. It also allows for filtering on specific keys, processes, process IDs, and values. In addition it shows how applications use files and DLLs, detects some critical errors in system files and more.
RegMon and its sister application Filemon were primarily created by Mark Russinovich and Bryce Cogswell, employed by Nu-Mega Technologies and later SysInternals prior SysInternals being bought out by Microsoft in 2006.
The two tools were combined to create Process Monitor. Early versions of Process Monitor (up to version 2.8) ran on Windows 2000 SP4 with Update Rollup 1. The current version only runs on Windows XP with the latest service pack and above.
Well I don’t like taking pictures
‘cause I don’t like to admit
That someday I’ll be older
And there’ll be times that I forget
So I don’t keep a scrapbook
‘cause I don’t need that weight
Well the memories are like ghosts
And they haunt me when it’s late
Give me back those simple days
Back when we used to dream
And I dream for more than I have
I want more than I got
But I believe in the simple things
Yeah the things that I forgot
But I got a couple pictures
Because sometimes I like to see
How I looked when I was younger
‘cause I didn’t look that way to me
And my daddy he kept a scrapbook
And I’d leaf through once in a while
Those old black and white pictures
Of wedding cakes and sisters
Yeah, they make me smile
Give me back those simple days
Back when we used to dream
And I dream for more than I have
I want more than I got
And I believe in the simple things
Yeah the things that I forgot, yeah
Give me back those simple days
Back when we used to dream
And I dream for more than I have
I want more than I got
And I believe in the simple things
Yeah the things that I forgot
Well the things that I forgot
