Task Lister

Task Lister is a portable task manager that can be used as an alternative to the native Windows Task Manager. It is great for flash drives or disk to use on computers that have viruses that have disabled the task manager or it can be used as a lightweight alternative. It is written in AutoHotkey.

Example Code - Getting and refreshing the task list

This function is just a modification of the example shown at the bottom of this page: AutoHotkey - Docs - Commands - Process

TaskList(delim:="|",getArray:=0,sort:=0){
	d := delim
	s := 4096  
	Process, Exist  
	h := DllCall("OpenProcess", "UInt", 0x0400, "Int", false, "UInt", ErrorLevel, "Ptr")
	DllCall("Advapi32.dll\OpenProcessToken", "Ptr", h, "UInt", 32, "PtrP", t)
	VarSetCapacity(ti, 16, 0)  
	NumPut(1, ti, 0, "UInt")  
	DllCall("Advapi32.dll\LookupPrivilegeValue", "Ptr", 0, "Str", "SeDebugPrivilege", "Int64P", luid)

Motivation

I created this to help work on clients computers.

Installation

Portable program (Plans for installer and portable option).

Test

I have tested on Windows 10 32 Bit and Windows 7 64 Bit.
