i have several programs accessing the disk to do reads or writes. however, in resource monitor, the process actually doing thesereads and writes seems to be "System". how do i make the actual image names show their reads and writes in resource monitor

Hi, In Resource Monitor, click Disk, select System under Image column, click Disk Activity to expand, then you could show the full path of the File column and see which file does the actual disk reads/writes. Besides viewing in Resource Monitor. Meanwhile, you could open Task Manager, click Processes, click View and click Select Columns, select PID (Process Identifier), select I/O Reads, I/O Writes, Image Path Name, then you should be able to view which Image Name does I/O reads/writes. Alternatively, you could use the command tasklist to show the detailed information.

thank you for your post. however you don't seem to understand the problem i'm having. i know how to use resurce monitor. the problem is, that even though a third party program does the disk writes and reads (Azureus.exe) ( i can tell from the file path. it's locations only that third party program would write to (E:\Torrents\ ) the image name says System . which is wrong. the image name should read as Azureus.exe and no, i should not contact the developer of that program with this problem. because this problem occurs with many programs. http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/686/resourcemonitorproblem.jpg and in case you're wondering - yes, i am sharing all of those files legally

C:\Windows\system32>tasklist /s System /FO LIST ERROR: The RPC server is unavailable. i think we might be on to something here edit: i understand that System specifies a computer name. i replaced "system" with the name of my machine and i got a list of running processes. i do not understand how this relates to my problem. i appreciate your continued assistance and efforts and i am very grateful towards you. however, i still feel we have a communications issue. i am sorry that i express myself unclearly. therefore, can you, in your own words, describe what my problem is? so i can see if we are on the same page, so to speak?
