I am looking for a method to monitor exactly which files are being accessed on boot up by Windows. This is in attempts to find a bottle neck on physical workstations, but I would also like this information for all workstations in general. I can run the image in a VM, using a SAN as the disk location. I just need a fairly easy way to see which files are being touched on boot up.
Thanks!

1Are you looking for something like BootVis? – ChrisN – 2013-01-16T23:16:22.473
@ChrisN that certainly seems like what I am looking for. I will do some more reading at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/performance/default.aspx and http://www.raymond.cc/blog/winbootinfo-is-a-bootvis-alternative-that-works-in-windows-vista-and-7/ (This seems a little sketchy though)

Windows Performance Recorder and Windows Performance Analyzer seem promising though. – Mike Soule – 2013-01-16T23:54:36.807

Yeah, I think that might do what you want to do - I didn't look into it much, though. Something else you might want to consider is Soluto.
