ABOUT PROCESS MONITOR PORTABLE ============================== The Process Monitor Portable Launcher allows you to run Process Monitor from a removable drive whose letter changes as you move it to another computer. The application can be entirely self-contained on the drive and then used on any Windows computer. INSTALLATION / DIRECTORY STRUCTURE ================================== By default, the program expects the following directory structure: -\ <--- Directory with ProcessMonitorPortable.exe +\App\ +\Process Monitor\ +\Data\ +\settings\ PROCESSMONITORPORTABLE.INI CONFIGURATION ======================================== The Process Monitor Portable Launcher will look for an INI file called ProcessMonitorPortable.ini in the same directory as ProcessMonitorPortable.exe (copy from Other\Source). The INI file is formatted as follows: AdditionalParameters= DisableSplashScreen=false RunLocally=false The AdditionalParameters entry allows you to pass additional commandline parameter entries to Procmon.exe. Whatever you enter here will be appended to the call to Procmon.exe. The DisableSplashScreen entry allows you to run the Process Monitor Portable Launcher without the splash screen showing up. The default is false. The RunLocally entry allows you to set Process Monitor Portable to run from the local machine's temp directory. This can be useful for instances where you'd like to run Process Monitor Portable from a CD or when you're working on a machine that may have spyware or viruses and you'd like to keep your device set to read-only mode. The only caveat is, of course, that any changes you make that session aren't saved back to your device. When done running, the local temp directories used by Process Monitor Portable are removed.
