Snapshot of Running processes

[Toastedlightly]

Is there a program that will give me a snapshot of the running processes on a computer and save them to a log file? I am trying to help a computer illiterate friend with her computer and i have to firgure out what processes are running. BTW: It is WinXP Home. Thanks in advance

You could always try using the TASKLIST command in Windows XP. It should show the running processes in a command line window. You could then use output redirection to dump the contents to a file. You could probably write a small batch file that does this.

The batch file could be something as simple as the following:
tasklist > c:\tasklog.txt

Tasklist syntax

You could have your friend take a picture of them and send them to you.

CTRL+ALT+DEL to open up task manager...

ALT+Print screen to take a pic, goto MS paint, then click edit and hit paste. Save the files as JPEGs and go here to upload them.

Example.

I guess that works too, but if the process list is too long you'll need multiple screenshots

XP's Task Manager DOES NOT SHOW everything running...for example the apps/services hiding behind the SVCHOST.EXE entries.
