    I need to find an easy way to copy the text from the programs list in Task Manager to a text file

    Hi, ThisHi, This is a short response to let you know I saw the powershell info this morning and I'll try it out on the weekend as I've got 400 cacti in the house from my show on the previous weekend and my priority has to be to get them out before the lack of light damages them. FYI, to...

    I need to find an easy way to copy the text from the programs list in Task Manager to a text file

    Guys, we are getting off track here - what I WANT to do is find a way to copy the actual text showing in the applications window of the Task Manager: for example - "Super Finder Textify List After.txt - Notepad" or "C:\Windows.old\Users\Public\Pictures\Kodak Pictures\17-03-2014" These two...

    I need to find an easy way to copy the text from the programs list in Task Manager to a text file

    No, I don't want to just kill them, I want to make a list so I can reopen all the files and re-create my working environment when I re-start the system, Thanks, Jacq.

    I need to find an easy way to copy the text from the programs list in Task Manager to a text file

    Hello Everyone, Almost, but no cigar to XWB & kjv1611. The list is great, but it doesn't list the Names of the Files which are open the way that task Manager does. When I want to remember something like "Bryophyllum Search in IPNI 2016-05-01.txt" - notepad.exe just doesn't cut it...

    I need to find an easy way to copy the text from the programs list in Task Manager to a text file

    Hi There, I run really long and complicated working sessions on my system and it is an absolute PAIN that I have to write down or type up a list of my running programs every time I have to shut down my system. Does ANYONE know how I can copy the text shown in the Task Manager (see the...

    I cannot receive any attachments properly since November 2013 and I'm going crazy!

    Hi All, I've popped back in to let you know my problem is fixed, thanks to some very nice people at the comp.mail.eudora.ms-windows news group. It turns out that my attachment directory path had somehow been changed to an old XP path within Eudora, even though the correct data file was showing...

    I cannot receive any attachments properly since November 2013 and I'm going crazy!

    Thanks for the advice, both of you. As far as what Chris said, I have been thinking about exploring Linux for some time but I have other major legacy software issues, including a DOS database program with 27 years of business data on it AND an unfortunate long term commitment to Kodak Easyshare...

    I cannot receive any attachments properly since November 2013 and I'm going crazy!

    Thanks for the prompt replies. I checked my ISP mailbox this morning - so far I haven't got an email with an attachment to check, though I am expecting one (My mother's phone bill, which is sent as a PDF) sometime in the next day or so. I use AVG free for anti virus I looked at all the links...

    I cannot receive any attachments properly since November 2013 and I'm going crazy!

    Hi All, For several months I have not been able to receive any e-mail attachments, although I can send them! I have been messing about trying to fix this myself with no success, but email is NOT my area of expertise and I am stumped. Whenever I download any e-mail message containing an...

    My Cat keeps Changing My Keyboard Layout from QWERTY to Dvorak!

    He has done this three times in the last two days, by lying on the left hand side of the keyboard. I can get my QWERTY layout back by restarting the computer but this is a long and annoying process when I am in the middle of working on something because I normally have about 10 different...

    Weird Desktop behaviour!

    I have just had a very ODD desktop freeze/slowdown. I right clicked on the desktop to get the menu to make a new folder and the hourglass came up. I waited... and waited... and waited... then I got bored and thought I would go away and do something else but the desktop menu followed me around on...

    XP Hangs - need recently open files list

    Hi Linney, Thanks for the tips, I am off to try them out in a minute. The file in box net is a screen shot - I saved it in Wordpad which may not have been a good idea. It's the first time I've ever saved a screen shot in my life, but I couldn't think where else to save it to. I really could...

    XP Hangs - need recently open files list

    Ok, This is a weird one. I suspect it is probably memory related, as my computer tends to run into temporary slow-down, slow loading, and other problems of that sort. Last night, when I went to bed I left my system running because I had a lot of half finished stuff going on and I wanted to...

    Professional File System (PFS) database

    Dear Diogenes10, I checked the link you suggested but it is a dead end. PFS:First Choice was a very early attempt at an integated program Suite (ALA Claris Works, MS Works etc) and it apparently doesn't share the same file format - I downloaded a test copy and tried the...
