You can save the file to any drive or folder you want to\u2026 but remember, spacing is important and you must know the complete file path. The simplest way to do this is to just to save it to the root of the C:\\ drive\u2026 with the following command<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"auto-style802\" style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Tasklist &gt;C:\\running-processes.txt<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">And press &#8220;Enter&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">It will look like this&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2022\/tasklist-cmd.png\" alt=\"Cloudeight Windows Tips and Tricks\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Then, using File Explorer, look in the root of your C:\\ drive for a text tile named &#8220;running-processes&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2022\/tasklist1.png\" alt=\"Cloudeight Windows Tips and Tricks\" width=\"599\" height=\"398\" \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Above: The text file we created using the tasklist command and you can see it matches the tasklist we created in the first step.
