I am currently working on a software package for a class I am taking and need some help.
My team is required to develop a program to track application usage on windows machines and generate reports for an imaginary "customer" regarding what is used the most, least, etc.
I have found a few tools in windows xp that list processes, such as qprocess.exe and tasklist.exe but was curious what other ways I can go about logging what's running, etc.
I also need to know which window is active and get time stamps for when it's opened and closed so that I can distinguish which program the user is actually using in the event that several windows are open simultaneously.
If anyone knows of any open source programs to log processes for windows or has any ideas as to the best way to go about accomplishing my goal please let me know. Any and all help, ideas, etc will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
