Printing "Task List" and other things not in folders
I started a thread on this a while back, and it's no longer here. As it turns out when I examined them more closely, the results I got dealt with printing the contents of folders, and that's not what I was looking for. I already know how to do that. What I'm looking for is a way to print out things not in folders. For example: If you do "ctrl-alt-del" you get a list of the tasks running on the computer. The window is small and there's no way to enlarge it, so you have to scroll through the list. I'd like to be able to print out the whole list -- not one screen print window at a time. Even better, I'd like to be able to make the list into a text file which I could then import into Excel. How do I do that? If you do "find" you get a list of found items. How can I do the same with that list? I guess for that I could use the DOS DIR command and pipe it to a text file. When you use Windows Explorer, the left window is a directory tree. How can I expand it fully and then print the result? When you do "runMSCONFIGstartup" you get a list of programs which start at startup. How can I print that list? ...or better, make a text file out of it? Would appreciate some suggestions on these kinds of issues -- these specific ones and others like them, of which there are many. I'm running W 98 SE on an IBM ThinkPad A20m 2820. Thanks... Phil |

Even better, I'd like to be able to make the list into a text file which I could then import into Excel. How do I do that? Use the TaskList (tlist.exe) utility in the Win98 Resource Kit: ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/Services/Tec...NOSE/TLIST.EXE Type ... tlist tasklist.txt If you do "find" you get a list of found items. How can I do the same with that list? I guess for that I could use the DOS DIR command and pipe it to a text file. When you use Windows Explorer, the left window is a directory tree. How can I expand it fully and then print the result? If I'm not mistaken Gary S. Terhune suggested a third party utility (FileList) that did this and much mo http://groups.google.com/group/micro...fc9174e8b7a59? OTOH if you are looking for a utility that does the same thing as the old DOS tree.com command, then try TreePrint: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,10882,00.asp http://users.ev1.net/~jsigno/addon/Treeprt.zip When you do "runMSCONFIGstartup" you get a list of programs which start at startup. How can I print that list? ...or better, make a text file out of it? Export the following registry keys to a file: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunOnce List the contents of the following directory: dir "%windir%.\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp" listfile.txt Would appreciate some suggestions on these kinds of issues -- these specific ones and others like them, of which there are many.
