Programing Logging

Hi,

Wanting to know if there is a way to find out when a program is opened and then add it to a log file (for every program that can be run).

A example is like the way the the Event Viewer does in windows NT. It logs which program opens when. I know that it can not be done to the same extent as in windows NT but any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Well, there is an API command that doesn't log programs when they open, but it will tell you all the programs that are open. It may even give you DLLs and programs with no names that just help out windows, but I think there is a way that you only get stuff that is on the Ctrl+Alt+Del menu. You may wanna look through the apiviewer in VB5 or there is an API book at the library - it's very thick and even has examples and the entire book on a CD as I understand - in help file format! Check that out because I don't remember what the actual code is.

Thanks for that, I already have used that before in another application but that is not realy what I am looking for, I want to be able to add when a program opens and what program (or just the exe name) to a log file as it opens.



Any other people know anything that might be helpful??



thanks
