Another small but efficient app

I have the whole sys eternals suite and have found every app to be very useful. This is no exception and one of the better ones. If you want to see what's going on in real time or close to, this will be the app. This also comes in handy for those little things that may be using resources that you had no idea were even there, yep, you'll find it, apps that's hogging or causing errors etc... or maybe even something that shouldn't be there. I only use it when I begin noticing issues and typically this helps me track down a left over active file that is kicking in. Like Itunes and it's updater, even though I uninstalled, the updater was going constantly and was left behind. It didn't show in processes, this found it and I deleted it, all was well.

Exceptional system monitoring/debug tool

Overall:

Wholeheartedly endorse filemon.exe (version 7.02) Easy, uncluttered, intuitive interface. Standalone program that doesn't require install/uninstall, nor any registry entries. Filter include/exclude granularity is excellent. Log event highlighting capability a real plus. VERY useful for debugging, performance tweaking, identifying spyware at anywhere from entire files system to individual file access level.

It could not be more useful

If you need the information it provides, there is no tool that comes close. The ability to have filters applied to the current data is now available; it was just about the last thing missing. It would be nice to have a programmer interface (not just a GUI), but what do you want for $0.00?? The author is also very responsive to suggestions, and to compatibility issues and questions.
