I’d like to log or record every time I start an application to gain insight into which applications I use most on my Windows system. I was thinking I could create an event in the event log and listen for it in a .Net program.
Questions:
I am also open to using Java to solve this problem. Thanks!
maybe you can try to hook the CreateProcess API in system wide using unmanaged c++.
and in C# use .NET interop to handle events/notifies from you unmanaged hook module.
