I would suggest psapi. Just Google for "psapi", you will get a lot of info. Keep in mind, maybe meanwhile there are more advanced technics available.

hi,
Win32 API can be used in C code to get such information.
Chekout this link[^]
several examples are given.

An informative C++ article on CP Win32 APIs for Process Retrieval[^].
For more info, you can google for 'InitToolhelp32'.

MSDN has an example in C++[^]

hope this helps!!
