    Show Start time of Application in Windows XP
    « on: October 26, 2013, 03:16:21 AM »
    Hello,

    Is there any software that shows the start time (when the application launched) those currently running. i.e. If I open Adobe acrobat reader at 3:00 PM it should show that time.

    I would be glad for your comments.

    1. Command line: list all tasks, find the one(s) you want.

    NOTE: Acrobat Reader starts 2 processes on my Windows XP 32 bit system. and 1 process on my Windows 7 64 bit system.

    wmic process get ProcessId, name, creationdate

    sample output:

    20131026115734.218750+060  wmic.exe                     1684


    2. Command line where you know the process name

    wmic process where name="AcroRd32.exe" get ProcessId, name, creationdate

    Sample output:

    CreationDate               Name          ProcessId
    20131026115726.703125+060  AcroRd32.exe  3800
    20131026115726.828125+060  AcroRd32.exe  2192


    Time format is YYYYMMDDhhmmss.uuuuuu+NNN where:
    YYYY is year
    MM is month
    DD is day
    hh is hour
    mm is minute
    ss is second
    uuuuuu is microseconds (do not rely on this being accurate!)
    +NNN is minutes local time difference from UTC (in my case +060 means 1 hour ahead of UTC (Zulu, GMT)

    3. GUI: a Windows add on from Microsoft called Process Explorer

    Get it here:

    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx

    Right click process name and choose "Properties".

    It is simple to rearrange date format in a batch script

    @echo off
    setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
    for /f "skip=2 tokens=1* delims= " %%A in ('wmic process get name^, creationdate') do (
        if not "%%B"=="" (
            set Stime=%%A
            set YYYY=!Stime:~0,4!
            set MM=!Stime:~4,2!
            set DD=!Stime:~6,2!
            set HH=!Stime:~8,2!
            set MN=!Stime:~10,2!
            set SS=!Stime:~12,2!
            echo !DD!-!MM!-!YYYY! !HH!:!MN!:!SS! %%B
            )
        )


    Example output:

    26-10-2013 09:57:12 MemeoDashboard.exe
    26-10-2013 09:57:15 HipServAgent.exe
    26-10-2013 10:47:42 cmd.exe
    26-10-2013 10:47:42 conhost.exe
    26-10-2013 11:04:24 AcroRd32.exe
    26-10-2013 12:09:58 Uedit32.exe
