PREfast List

You can use a PREfast list command to display the contents of the Defect Log as soon as the analysis is complete and any time thereafter until you use a PREfast Reset command or delete the Defect Log. Use this parameter with the redirection character (>) to create a text file of the Defect Log, for example, prefast list > prefast1.txt.
