I briefly described the Windows XP TaskList utility in tip 4310.

When you open a CMD.EXE session and type TaskList /?, you receive:

TASKLIST [/S system [/U username [/P [password]]]]         [/M [module] | /SVC | /V] [/FI filter] [/FO format] [/NH]Description:    This command line tool displays a list of application(s) and    associated task(s)/process(es) currently running on either a local or    remote system.Parameter List:   /S     system           Specifies the remote system to connect to.   /U     [domain\]user    Specifies the user context under which                           the command should execute.   /P     [password]       Specifies the password for the given                           user context.
