I recently noticed that there's a program which shows up on task-bar and disappears momentarily (No window shown). This happens periodically. I want to find out what process this is. Is there a way to get a list of previously executed processes in Windows 7?

How about this: Download Process Monitor from Microsoft and run it. Set up a filter that excludes everything that is currently running.

Then wait - once the new process pops up, it should appear in the monitoring list.

Or you could use Process History, no filtering required

It's a free and portable process database.

It's a simple portable .zip download . There is a manual on how to use it on the download site.

As long as Process History is running, you can query processes that have ended via a GUI.

It will run on any version of Windows from 7.
