Can Vista Gadgets Get Info about Applications Currently Running ?

[Prince Of Code]

Hey all,

I would like to know if we are able to get the information about the
applications running. Atleast the app names ? If we could get the
process name, id etc. that would be great. Also What other Operating
System level Information I can access from the Gadgets.


Looking for your reply

Thanks
Neps

The utility 'tasklist' can do it. There is also a scripting interface for
tasks and processes.

command:
cscript go.vbs
--go.vbs--
<code on page goes here>
--end file--

Sounds Cool.

More thing I am keen is on getting the Application/ Window info that
is on focus (Active). Is there a equvalent javascript code or can I
use the same VBS script to accomplish my goal.


Thanks again
