Notes
To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the Administrators group, the Performance Log Users group, or the Performance Monitor Users group on the local computer, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority. If the computer is joined to a domain, members of the Domain Admins group might be able to perform this procedure. As a security best practice, consider using Run as to perform this procedure. For more information, see Default local groups, Default groups, and Using Run as.
To open Performance, click Start, click Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Performance.
You can also delete counters by using the Remove button on the Data tab in the System Monitor Properties dialog box. The Remove button is helpful for deleting a group of counters at once.
