C:\Documents and Settings\All Users.WINDOWS\Application Data\HostMonitor\

Note the Logging Directory may be over-ridden by passing the directory to be used as a command line aug when starting.

CPU_Monitor History
Rev 1.0 Original Release
Rev 1.1 Include gdiplus.dll (needed by CoreTemp on Win2K).
Rev 1.2
Converted to use SpeedFan.
Note: Linux is broken- It just returns CPU Loads at this time.
Rev 1.2.1
Update Linux version, modify to parse sensors.conf for TagNames & Scaling data.
Append CPU Type & O/S Name to SenderName Field (Max 80 Chars).
Rev 1.3.0
Modify to use Standard Windoze directories when running under Windows. Log files:
Win2K, WinXP = C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\CPU_Monitor\CPU_Monitor.log
Vi$ta, Win7 = C:\ProgramData\CPU_Monitor\CPU_Monitor.log
Note: Linux still uses /var/log/CPU_Monitor.log
Rev 1.3.1
Installer change only.
1) Removed default CPU_Monitor.conf. This file is now created during the install (User is prompted to enter Name or IP).
2) Installer determines whether the system is 32 or 64 bit. Start-up batch file is installed accordingly: CPU_Monitor-Start.bat or CPU_Monitor-StartX86.bat for 64 bit machines (Note- this file is installed on the desktop, to autostart, copy is to /Start Menu/Programs/Startup/*).
