title: Is there a way to open the PerfMon with specified counters?
body: <p>I am trying to write a program in which when you can open up the PerfMon and it will already have a certain set of counters displaying. This set of counters can be specified by the user. I really thought this would not be an uncommon thing but I have not found anybody talking about this online.</p>
  
  <p>My question is how can I tell the PerfMon which counters to show when it starts up? I considered creating my own .PerfmonCfg file but it is a binary file and I could not find any documentation on the layout of the file (didn't really expect to, either.) </p>
  
  <p>*Alternatively, is there a way to add in the PerfMon into my program (.NET framework program)?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
