    Is there any way to divert the perfmon /report as an .html file on the desktop?
    It might be me but I just can't seem to get it to output the file.

    Thanks in advance.

    On further investigation, it appears that this is quite complex and can only be achieved by somehow extracting the created file and converting it into a readable and usable format, although I have not found [ Internet ] a solution yet!

    I might look at this again at some time in the future!

    Brink, how are you able to get your disk usage down to 12% Idle? The lowest I was able to get was 18% Idle. Is there counters that can be used in performance monitor that shows you the process that is eating up resources?

    Resource Monitor (resmon.exe) should be able to help show you.
