How check what program is reading/writing to disk and registry


Is there possibility to check which files program is using from disk (saving/reading to them) and check what program is reading from registry and saving to registry?

This is a common software development task, especially when supporting legacy software or debugging issues in closed-source software


Solution

  • There are probably many tools, but Microsoft provides ProcMon (AKA Process Monitor) which should do what you want.
