Capturing user ran programs

Question

I am looking for a way to record when certain programs have been executed.

For instance, if Microsoft Word has been started I would like to write out a time and date stamp along with the program name.

The output I get. I may change it to an Excel spreadsheet. Just need a little guidance on where to look to capture user run programs.

It looks like you want to use the ManagementEventWatcher

As for creating an excel spreadsheet from data, you can easily find code for that.
