TinyResMeter is a small tool that displays useful information about system resources in real time, but it also gives much more detail when you right-click on the displayed fields !

BONUS built-in function that redirects the original PrintScreen key and makes it save screenshots into .BMP files with automatic file renaming. Press PrintScreen as many times as you want, and you'll get instant screenshot files you can work on later...

The use of KOL Delphi library and direct API programming permitted the code to be so small.

Why TinyResMeter ?

- It is not the prettiest Resource Monitor.
- It is not the most complete.
- It has no wonderful and amazing graphical interface.
- It has no installer.
...But...
- It is written 90% at pure API level to keep it as small as possible.
- It does not require any extra non standard DLL.
- It does not modify/write inside the Registry (except if you set it to autorun).
- It uses less memory and resources than most tools of its kind.
- It uses a very simple but efficient small display interface.
- It does not use any installer that could increase EXE size; once downloaded you can use it immediately.
- It can be simply copied and executed on any machine with no need for an installation procedure.

- Option to select if you want .ini file to be stored into current user's %appdata% folder or at same place as TinyResMeter's place (default).
