awesome tool and it's free!!!
Great monitor, good merge.
Not to be confused with Sysinternals Process EXPLORER (as the commenter below did).
This is also a great piece of software which is basically the old programs: filemon and regmon rolled together, along with a monitor for processes, into one handy package.
Much more informative than Task Manager, with many useful options.
Before I found Process Monitor, I had to use individual software to monitor the registry, processes files on the hardware. This freeware tool makes it wonderfully simplified. Filtration and summarization features are an added bonus to narrow down what you're looking for.
