it is the PDH.DLL library located in windows\system32 folder
Well, since PDH is a DLL file (a file full of callable functions) rather
than an executable, then "finding" the processor value is something you
are doing in some program you are coding. Visit a newsgroup related to
whatever programming language you are using.
I suppose you could use rundll.exe to call a function in the DLL file
but then you know how you want to use it. When I look at PDH.dll with
Filesnoop, none of the exports (entry points) listed look like they
return some "processor" value. So what are you REALLY running (that may
use the pdh.dll file)? Might you actually be running the Performance
Monitor (perfmon.exe)? If so, how are YOU trying to add the processor
to the monitoring list?
