Tech-Recipes: XP Pro and Vista: List active Windows programs from command line with tasklist | Windows | Tech-Recipes

  • Anonymous · 5 years ago
    I must be doing something wrong, as I tried to use this command from the dos prompt and the windows dos prompt with no results.
    I went to full dos and typed tasklist (then enter)
    Then I went to start/run and typed cmd to get a dos prompt on the desktop and typed the same. No list.

    I am using Home XP.. What am I doing wrong.

    thanx

    Unfortunately, it appears that the tasklist command is not available in the home edition of XP. I appologize for not trying the command in both versions before I wrote the recipe. Of course, there are currently five different editions of XP (that I know about).

    Your files are locked with a password.
    That password is hashed
    for example apple = $1$u6LCexMv$BXha6te1tEk3dBMqjju6F0
    it is the hash that you files are really locked with
    when you change your password your new password gets a new hash
    for example bunny = $1$XVqEBQYz$1GETn25VbpjZGtmJfTmGk1

    if you change your password back to the oreginal it may or may not work depending on what hashing algorithm you compuer decides to use.

    Basiclly you are screwed, I suggest you get a computer forensics expert to help you but their services are not cheap.

    Is this in code?

    Can I get somebody to translate this for me?

    Case number?

    Great tool and I'd like to use it in a .bat file I have to check to see if a specific application is running on a couple of the computers in my little home network. The problem is that I don't have passwords, no logon password, and so when I do:
    TASKLIST /S remote-computer-name /FI "imagename eq myapp.exe" or
    TASKLIST /S 192.168.rrr.r (remote computer's static IP)

    I am prompted for the password for the local_computer_nameuser. This nor the remote computer have passwords assigned.

    Both computers are in the same workgroup. It works fine if the /S is left off (local computer) or if /S 192.168.lll.l (local computer's static IP) is used

    Any suggestions?

    Thanx in advance, Skip
