Status Reports

Hi Gurus;
I need a text file to record what process ran with what filename at what
time. My aim is to get a log so that it can help us write our status reports,
because it takes so freakin' long to remember what you did during the day, so
we thought if PS could 'look over our shoulder' and just list what programs
we launched with what files got worked on, we could use that log to write our
status reports.
thanks in advance for your wizardry

RE: Status Reports

This is a bit complicated, but one method that may work off the top of my
head is to use the new eventing features in V2 to subscribe to a WMI process
created event.

There's even a sample on technet for this exact task.
