I was talking with an employee the other day and I remember them mentioning a tool that we use that enables you to see what messages the OS sends/receives when an event occurs (for example, when a link is clicked in Internet Explorer (or another browser)).
Can somebody please tell me what this app is called?

Microsoft Windows Server Event Viewer is a monitoring tool that shows a log of events that can be used to troubleshoot issues on a Windows-based system. The Event Viewer displays information about application, security-related, system and setup events.
At their core, Windows event logs are records of events that have occurred on a computer running the Windows operating system. These records contain information regarding actions that have taken place on the installed applications, the computer, and the system itself.
It's called Spy++, and it's included with Visual Studio and the Windows SDK.

You can indeed use Spy++ like @SLaks suggested, but if it's specifically to spy on winforms apps (like your tags suggest), I'd recommend Managed Spy. Also from Microsoft and with source code.
