About ExecutedProgramsList

ExecutedProgramsList collects the history of programs and batch files run on the system from several Registry keys, such as MuiCache and Program Compatibility Assistant entries, and from the Windows Prefetch folder. For each entry it shows the executable path, its created and modified times, and version information such as product name, version and company where available.

For some programs the last execution time is also shown. The list can be copied into a spreadsheet or exported to text, CSV, HTML or XML, including from the command line.

Strengths

  • Combines several Registry sources and the Prefetch folder in one list
  • Shows version details of each executable
  • Command-line export for scripting
  • Portable, runs on Windows XP through Windows 11

Limitations

  • Last execution time is available only for some programs
  • Registry data comes from the current user's keys
