Guest TC Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 For time-tracking purposes, I'd like to log the amount of time I spend in each application on my computer. Is there an easy way to do that in Windows? Searching the newsgroups, I've seen vague references to a Windows "event log" which records every application start-up. If it also records every application shut-down, then it may be what I need. Can anyone provide me with more detail about this mysterious "event log"? -TC

Unfortunately, those event logs don't contain the information required to compile a history of how long each application is active. Do you know any way to do that? -TC
