Click on the Start button, then on Run. Type PERFMON.MSC and hit enter. This is the Performance Monitor. You can montior all kinds of system information such a network activity, disk access, memory usage, ... The performance counter classes let your code create and expose custom counters so you can monitor components work using PERFMON or some other performance monitoring tool.
