I am hoping to find a way to do more performance monitoring--specifically, I hope that monitoring disk activity on a per-process basis will help me decide which programs are causing the most trouble (aside from the AV). I'd rather avoid a shotgun approach.
For windows XP, is there a process monitor that can give me a solid idea of which processes are slowing me down by causing the most page faults, etc? Thanks!
Perhaps enabling the I/O reads and writes in the task manager (ctrl+shift+esc). When looking at the processes in task manager select View then Select Columns. Look for the I/O read optiona nd I/O write option and click them.
This is what I get:
While I prefer the accepted answer, there is another way with the existing task manager.
I like the freeware Process Explorer. It provides a bit more detail than the Windows Task Manager, including per-process I/O graphs. Great for immediately spotting processes doing a lot of disk I/O.
