Where is the Performance Monitor in Windows XP? How can it be started using the Windows menus?
I can start it from the Run dialog:
perfmon.exe
But I am sure there is GUI way to start it.
In Windows XP Performance Monitor can started by: Start menu/Settings/Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Performance
That's hard-wired into my brain: Win+R "perfmon.msc" (and it generally requires only "per" once it's in the Run history)
The actual snap-in itself though lives at C:\WINDOWS\system32\perfmon.msc, so it's easy enough to right-click and Create Shortcut, then put that shortcut anywhere that fits your fancy. (I keep mind in the Quick Launch toolbar.)
I think it is a part of the Microsoft Management Console (right click "My Computer" and select "Administer"). Apart from that, it is no where else. Just a stand alone application.
