Publisher's Description

From DKpcCODE:

DKHardDrive-Light monitors the computer's hard drive and reflects activity by blinking a Red Light on the desktop. Uses: Monitor hard drive activity right from your desktop. This is helpful when the computer's hard drive light is not within view. Have you ever wanted to know if the computer has locked up or is it just busy? DKHardDrive-Light gives you a better understanding of what the hard drive is doing.

Functionality: - While in Mini Mode, click and drag the frame to move the light around the desktop. - Stays on Top of all open application and operating system windows. This keeps it always in view on your desktop, no matter what you are working on. - Monitors hard drive activity. - Displays file access (created/deleted & changed) in a list as activity occurs. This version is the first release on CNET Download.com.

"Very Clunky"

redking44 June 26, 2012 / Version: DKHardDrive-Light 1.2.2.2

2012-06-26 11:21:40 | By redking44

Pros

It works, sorta

Cons

but not in real time. Comes on quickly, but stays on much longer than the activity lasts. Mini mode is too big

Summary

Does its job BUT
CNET tries to foist crapware with it. I've encountered Blekko toolbar before - it's a nightmare to remove. Be very very careful with the CNET installer program.

"This program does exactly what it says and more"

Pros

The program not only indicates activity but shows you a complete log of all activity since it started. Appears to be compatible with Windows 7

Cons

When Windows 7 shuts down, program does not shut down and sometimes needs to be manually shut down before Windows 7 closes.

"I could see that my disk was active but never knew why."

rdiroma December 17, 2008 / Version: DKHardDrive-Light 1.2.2.2

2008-12-17 11:01:10 | By rdiroma

Pros

Shows programs that are using my hard drive, but could never discover what. The first time I used it I discovered that microsoft was accessing my hard drive. Good to know as many programs run in the background and remain unseen.

Cons

too early in testing to tell.

Summary

Easy download, setup problem free, and program works as advertized showing what programs are doing in the background causing disk light activity.
