Print / Save "process list" from Task Manager

[PSRumbagh]

I would like to print, or save to file, the list of "processes" from Task
Manager. How do I do this? There are about 60 active processes running on
my PC.

 

[Kelly]

Within the Task Manager go to Options and uncheck Always on Top. Then
maximize Processes.

Once done, select Alt/Print Screen. Then Start/Run or use the Win Logo Key
and the letter R.

Either way, type in mspaint then hit enter. Once done go to Edit/Paste,
then File Save.

If all of the running processes display without scrolling, the easiest
way is to do a screen capture using either your favorite screen capture
program or Windows Print Screen.

Alternatively, use the command line command tasklist. For example, in
Start >Run, type
tasklist /FO CSV>C:\tasklist.csv [click OK]

This will produced an Excel spreadsheet of the Task Manager information.

For more choices, open a Command Prompt window and type
tasklist /? [press enter]

If you just use
tasklist>C:\tasklist.txt [enter]
you'll get a simple text file, but the columns probably won't line up
exactly.

I would like to print, or save to file, the list of "processes" from Task
Manager. How do I do this? There are about 60 active processes running on
my PC.

At a Command Prompt issue the following commands, pressing enter after each:

net start >C:\Startlist.txt
tasklist /svc >>C:\Startlist.txt

Note the single redirector ">" in the first command and the double one
">>" in the second command. After you run the commands find the
Startlist.txt file and have a look at it.

If you are using Windows XP Home it doesn't include the Tasklist.exe
utility, I can't figure out why Microsoft excludes this utility from the
Home Edition, but you can download a copy of it here:

Windows\System32 folder.

The task list is long, about 60 items, and doesn't fit on one full screen. I
have to use two PRT SC operations and paste each one into PAINT or MSWord.

 

[PSRumbagh]

Operation "tasklist /FO CSV>C:\tasklist.csv" under Start >Run produces the
error message Windows can't find file 'tasklist'.

Operation "tasklist /?" under command prompt (DOS window) produces the error
message "Not recognized as an internal or external command".

Yes, I am using WinXP home edition V5.1 with SP3. Thanks for the download
link.

Tasklist.exe works fine. How do I direct the output of TASKLIST.EXE to a
file and / or the printer?

Using the redirect command, as shown in the examples John and I provided
to you.
