Bill, Thank you very much for this!
It seems to work cross-user context, but, it reports the path of how the process was started. So if I run 'notepad' from a prompt, the program will just come back with 'notepad', when what I really need to get at is where the binary is running from (c:\windows\system32\notepad.exe). I guess I should have been more clear with my question. Any ideas? I know this is possible because I have a 3rd party app that does just that.

You could try WMI (not sure if it will improve results) - sample test script sent off list. _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Admin mailing list Perl-Win32-Admin@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Admin mailing list Perl-Win32-Admin@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
