I've looked, unsuccessfully, for software that can monitor an report on program or services that run during the day on my computer. I've looked in Administrative Tools but didn't find any log files there. Task Manager|Services tab don't have a sort by starting time. I'm not really concerned with the services that start when my computer starts. I have an event sound for 'Open program' and it seems to be getting triggered more than I would prefer.
