Process Monitor 1.21: management processes and registry

17th August 2007

A new version of Process Monitor has been released, a program, which combines features of the known utilities Filemon and Regmon. Earlier, they were released by the Sysinternals company, which was further bought by Microsoft.
Process Monitor monitors the system and displays all on-going processes in real time. By means of this program, you can see how Windows works, how applications use files and DLLâ€™s; you can also eliminate errors in the system files. The program can show all changes to files, report on their removal or opening.
Process Monitor has tools for monitoring the registry. It shows which applications are applaying to the registry and, in particular, to which keys, what data they are trying to read or write. Key feature of this program is that it not only detects values and keys that have been changed, but also demonstrates what changes have been made to them.
