Does any one know a command line program (DOS) that will list all the running programs/processes (much like the ps command in UNIX/LINUX) ? Thanks
 
At the command line enter tasklist. It will list everything.
 

Besides TaskList, the above site has a good selection of programs you can check out (all freeware). Have a look at Process Explorer and maybe Handle, there are probably others there. These will work on XP Home too.
 
Thanks. Do you also happen to know a way to end the program? (kill ??) Thanks
 
See Linney's post/link - pstools there includes pskill.
 
Within the Windows Xp command line you can enter taskkill. Use taskkill /? for help on how to use it.
 
Hi all,
I'm just cruisin' and stumbled in here. I have an OEM version of XP (Compaq) which doesn't recognize any of these commands. Do you know where I can get them? They are not on my CD. Thanks for any help.
