How to Monitor System Resources from the Windows 7 Taskbar

Do you feel annoying the open windows always cover up the system mointoring apps? Today we will take a look at how to solve it by monitor system resources from theWindows 7 taskbar.

Setting Up and Using SuperbarMonitor

You can see all of the individual monitors and the .dll files necessary to run them come in a single zip file for your convenience. Just unzip the contents, add them to an appropriate "Program Files Folder", and create shortcuts for the monitors that you would like to use on your system.

In this test, we created shortcuts for all five monitors and set the shortcuts up in their own "Start Menu Folder".

Here...you can see what the five monitors --Battery, CPU, Disk, Memory, & Volume, which are look like when runningthey are visual in appearance without text to clutter up the looks. The monitors use colors (red, green, and yellow) to indicate the amount of resources being used for a particular category.

Note: Our system is desktop-based but the "Battery Monitor" was shown for the purposes of demonstrationthus the red color seen here.

Just hover the mouse over the "Battery, CPU, Disk, & Memory Monitors" on our system displayed a small blank thumbnail.

Note: Actually...the "Battery Monitor" may or may not display more when used on your laptop.

Going one step further and hovering the mouse over the thumbnails displayed a small blank window. There really is nothing that you will need to worry with outside of watching the color for each individual monitor.

And the one monitor with extra features on the thumbnail was the "Volume Monitor". You can turn the volume down, up, on, or off from herepretty useful if you have been wanting to hide the "Volume Icon" in the "System Tray".

Also you can pin the monitors to your "Taskbar" if desired. Remember that if you do close any of the monitors, they will "temporarily" disappear from the "Taskbar" until the next time they are started.

Note: If you want the monitors to start with your system each time, you will need to add the appropriate shortcuts to the "Startup Sub-menu" in your "Start Menu".
