Extract text from Resource Monitor configuration files (RESMONCFG)
To convert RESMONCFG configuration files to another format, you need Microsoft Resource Monitor or other Settings software.
To convert other file formats to the "Windows System Configuration" file type, you need software like Microsoft Resource Monitor or a similar tool.
A .RESMONCFG file is a specialized configuration container generated by Microsoft Resource Monitor (resmon.exe), a system utility built into Windows for tracking CPU, memory, disk, and network usage. These files serve a specific purpose: they save your dashboard layout, including active columns, graph visibility, and sorting preferences, allowing system administrators to deploy standardized monitoring views across multiple servers.
The primary problem with .RESMONCFG files is the misconception that they contain performance data. Users often archive these files believing they have saved a record of a CPU spike or memory leak, only to discover later that the file contains nothing but XML tags defining window dimensions and table headers. The file is effectively useless for data analysis or auditing historical performance. Additionally, the file extension is not automatically associated with text editors in Windows, meaning a double-click usually leads to an error or an empty Resource Monitor window rather than displaying the configuration content.
To inspect the settings or debug a configuration, the best approach is converting the file to standard XML or TXT. This reveals the underlying structure, making it readable in editors like Notepad++ or Visual Studio Code.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our RESMONCFG converter.
