TrayMonitor v1.1.0

TrayMonitor is a small VB.NET utility that provides a quick overview of performance counters from the system tray.

Each running instance displays a small bar graph corresponding to a performance counter that you select. The results are averaged over a configurable number of samples to provide a smoother animation. Update frequency, colors and maximum values are configurable, and the settings can be saved and loaded from simple, editable configuration files.

By associating the file extension (TMC) with the executable you can quickly start your favorite counters with a double-click, or even add them to your Startup folder so they are running each time you log on.

This project was a bit of a learning exercise for me, and a lot of the code has been borrowed/modified from the ConfigOpt and NotifyIconChart articles at http://www.codeproject.com/ and other places on the w3

You can download the file here, or if you would like a copy of the source code, please send me a quick email.
