See what's running
-
XP has got a lot of things running... but it always never show all that are running...
Luckily they had this feature built in somewhere...
Go to Start > Run and type in cmd
In Command Prompt, type in tasklist /m > tasklist.txt
This will output everything to tasklist.txt
You can change the name of the file (tasklist) to anything you like and to any format you like, but text files will be good. Small file size.

Forget, only for Windows XP Professional.
Those not using, download tasklist.exe and save it to C:\Windows\System32
Other versions of Windows...
Download Process Explorer instead. -

how come when i type tasklist /m > tasklist.txt , nothing happen, the command prompt never say anything

Because I never get it to start Notepad.Originally posted by MyPillowTalks:how come when i type tasklist /m > tasklist.txt , nothing happen, the command prompt never say anything 
You can locate the file in C:\Documents and Settings\username\tasklist.txt
If you want it to start, write this batch file instead:tasklist /m > tasklist.txt
Save it as tasklist.bat
start notepad tasklist.txt
del tasklist.txt
Set the File type to All Files
Double click to run it.
For those curious, here's an explanation of the commands:
tasklist /m > tasklist.txt
This will call upon the tasklist program. Using the /m switch, it will show all modules loaded with a particular process. This will then output to a file called tasklist.txt
start notepad tasklist.txt Tells Windows to Start Notepad immediately once the tasklist program has finished listing everything.
del tasklist.txt This will delete tasklist.txt file after you close Notepad.
