Currently running applications

[sumitshining]

Hi all!

I need to know the file which stores all the information regarding an application being run on the system (non-OS applications). Also if there is any method i can retrieve every information about each application individually and independently, please let me know.

An application being run on the system which is a non-OS application?

[sumitshining]

I meant i want to filter out the non-OS services to have only the applications executed by the user himself.

Eg: I don't want to have info about explorer.exe being run but I want to track any software like media player or a web browser being run. Each and every info related to them. If they are using any file like media player does, so I need to know which file it is using.

In short the maximum possible I can have about it.

Event Viewer in Administrative Tools records the start up and closure of every single application including parts of the OS, that has run on the computer with exact date and time. Under the heading Source you'll see the name of the application, so it's easy to find a specific one (although some are given strange names!). Right click on an item to find out more.

You'll also find out more information from System in Event Viewer.

Also most applications have there own logs of usage although these can be difficult to find and read.
