Create a Link to Resource Monitor

Question

I'm running windows 7 and I want to create a link to the resource monitor that I can place anywhere. But all I've been able to do was pin it to the taskbar and not the start menu. Is there a command to run the RM so that I can paste it inside a shortcut?

The reason is that I have a costumized toolbar on my taskbar that groups the most useful/common control panel applications (such as system restore and windows update) and I'd like the resource monitor to be in there. Any ideas?

Thanks

EDIT:Changed to say Resource monitor, instead of Performance Monitor.

Solution 1

Create a shortcut with this as target:

%windir%\system32\perfmon.exe /res

Solution 2

Although it's off topic this is fun, or frightening depending on your point of view.

perfmon -report

perfmon /report (if you prefer)

Thanks, it works great! Actually, I tested it like then times, and it always ran performance monitor anyway. When I was about to comment on my failure, I tested it again and it worked perfectly. =P Thanks again.
