You can find out anything you want to know with the following API functions: GetCurrentProcessId(), FindWindow(), GetWindow(), GetWindowText (), EnumWindows(), EnumCallback(), CreateToolhelpSnapshot(), ProcessFirst(), and ProcessNext()<br><br>Edderic posted an excellent example of CreateToolhelpSnapshot on Feb 6 in the "Unauthorized Applications" thread (posted 2/3/2000). It's worth a look. It can return the MSDOS file name of executed EXEs and DLLs. If you need to return window captions you should use GetWindowText ().<br><br>Hope this helps.<br> <p> <br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= temporary Vorpalcom home page</a><br>Send me suggestions or comments on my current software project.
