Start,
Run,
tasklist > C:\ProcessList.txt





Good Luck, Ayush.
 
Thanks Claymore. I downloaded that site but got a message from my
anti-virus software(AVG) that the prgram has an additional extension.
What's that?
 
Hello again,

Probably just that the executable (.exe) install file is inside a
zipped (.zip) file. I, and oodles of others, have used this program
for years. No spyware, viruses or anything like that. Quite reputable.
Most folks actually use this program to edit their startup items/
programs, but it will also do what you're looking for.
The command line method suggested above will also do the job, but the
Starter version will give more detail in its snapshot of running
processes, if that's what you need.
 
Thanks.

I was able to download Starter as you suggested, but it only makes a copy of
processes in HTML regardless of what I select (HTML or plain text). Any
ideas?
 
Hello again,

Possibly because you selected html first and then tried the text save.
You have to look carefully at what's in the Filename dialog box in the
Save window.
I've found that the text version of the save is just a jumble, in
which case Ayush's method indicated above would be a better bet, I
think.

Regards
 
System Information (msinfo32.exe) is often overlooked my people that want
you to download some 3rd party program.

Open System Information...
Start | Run | Type: msinfo32 | Click OK |
Click the [+] next to Software Environment to expand the list |
Click on Running Tasks | Click anywhere in the right hand pane and hit
Ctrl + A to Select All | Hit Ctrl + C to copy | Paste wherever you want

Or paste the following line in Start | Run and click OK...

msinfo32 /categories +SWEnvRunningTasks /report
"%userprofile%\desktop\msinfosp.txt"

That command line wrapped. There is one space between /report and
"%userprofile%

Locate msinfosp.txt on your Desktop, open it and scroll down to [Running
Tasks].

Or if you have XP Pro, open a command prompt...
Start | Run | Type: cmd | Click OK |
Type: tasklist and hit Enter |
Highlight the items under Image Name |
Right click to copy and paste wherever you like

Tasklist.exe does not exist in XP Home.

For Tasklist HELP, type: tasklist /? in a command prompt an hit Enter.

For more Tasklist HELP, paste the following line into Start | Run and click
OK...
