Program that identifies which programs are using the HDD?

[fuzzybabybunny]

I know there was a program under XP that did this. Is there such a thing for Vista?

Just a program that shows which processes are accessing the hard drive so that I can nuke the stupid program. Task Manager is worthless because it only shows CPU usage, which doesn't necessarily have a correlation with HDD usage.

try filemon or regmon by sysinternals (owned by microsoft)

there are some other programs that might be of use also, but i cant think of their names

Stop playing games and use the computer for more worthwhile purposes like photo editing.😛

How much system memory is installed on this system? Maybe upgrading to more memory will help.

Process Monitor (procmon) combines regmon and filemon and does a few other things.

Thanks guys!

I've got 4GB here, so I HOPE system memory isn't an issue. When I'm running games all I've got is Firefox open at the same time. And yeah, I need to do more photos 🙁
