Yeah, what Paul said.
sysinternals is a lot of small utilities written by
Mark Russinovich, who's a top Windows programmer,
got hired by MS, and gave the sysinternals tools
to MS.

I prefer Regmon and Filemon. They're more specific.
And Procmon is ridiculously sluggish. When you stop
the logging it announces that it's beginning to stop
the logging and takes a long time. Filemon and
Regmon are instant. They also specialize, in file access
logging an Registry access logging respectively. But
I don't think those are any longer available. So it's
Procmon.

The idea I had was that while he was running the
PDW he could run that to see what files the PDW
EXE was accessing, in case there might be something
like a corrupted package type list file.
