Having used the search feature of the site I find no reference to appmonutility.exe. What does this utility do?

On my Vaio "AppMonUtility.exe" turns logo lamp on/off.
Graphical user interface "VAIO Control Center"-->"Logo Lamp Control" sets following reg key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Sony Corporation\AppMon Utility\dwLogoMode
0 = application dependent
1 = always on
2 = always off
AppMonUtility reads this key and does the switching. For mode 0 it has to run continously of course as it has to monitor applications.
If you only use mode 1 - you don't need to start AppMonUtility - remove it from autostart since lamp turns on at every reboot.
Mode 2: you can start AppMonUtility, let it turn the lamp off and end the task to save some ressources. This can be automated of course.
You can run AppMonUtility manually using one parameter:
start (like startup shortcut): AppMonUtility.exe @@@Start
end task: AppMonUtility.exe @@@HaltAll
Using reg key and above commands it is possible to use the logo lamp for misc feedback e.g. email checker could turn logo lamp on...
