Hi All,

From time to time I see the HD is working pretty extensive even though I
don't do anything significant in the computer. Is that possible to see which
program/service does that?

Thanks,

Joe

Click to expand...

Right-click on the task bar, from the context menu select Task Manager. Take
a look at the Processes and Services tabs.

Also, you can download and install Process Explorer. It is a more powerful
tool:

The behaviour you are experiencing is quite normal, it is probably just the
indexing service, defragmenter etc. which is running in the background

Charlie42 brought next idea :
Right-click on the task bar, from the context menu select Task Manager. Take
a look at the Processes and Services tabs.
Click to expand...

Also the Performance tab, where you can click "Resource Monitor" which
gives you a lot of information about what is going on on your system.
