Is there a way in windows xp home edition to get a list or a log of all
processes that are running at a certain moment?

I try to help out a friend who is living in another part of the world and
I'd like to have him provide me a list of these processes.

It should be something like the taskmanager pane, but i cannot get that info
onto a file. Copy and past from scren isn't possible.

I tried the command line command tasklist. Works fine, because I can
redirect the output to file. One problem though: tasklist seems to be not
included in the home edition.

Thanks

Gerard
 
I think you can just select all (Ctrl+A) from the command prompt, then simply
press enter, which will copy the contents to the clipbaord. Then paste in a
note pad.

Thanks for your quick response, but I'm not sure we understand each other.

Which program gives me the needed output in the command environment?
If I have that output I can redirect it to any textfile, but taskmanager
runs is the graphical environment and doesn't let me select and copy the
entries in the window and has no option to output to file or printer.
Tasklist oes run command promt mode, but is not available in winxp home

Perhaps I misunderstood your answer

Thanks

Start -- Run... msinfo32

Software Environment -- Running Tasks branch.

To copy its content to the clipboard -- select any space in the right
pane by mouse, then press Ctrl+A followed by Ctrl+C.

Thanks so much!
I completely forgot about msinfo. It's even better than you say. You don't
need to copy and past, You can simply export all you need to know to a
textfile.

It's kinda cool: a Russian helping me (from the Netherlands) to help my
friend in the USA.

Thanks again

Gerard.

BTW, you can not to import, but to save the file instead (it will be
saved with *.nfo extension). Then you can double click this NFO-file at
the other computer, and analyze it in Msinfo32 as if it were your own
system. Very useful feature.

Thanks,

I should have been able to figure that one out. I don't really know why I
thought of exporting while saving is the far more logical approach.
I learned a lot today
