Problem on Process ID (PID)

NTDEV
1

To all:

I was trying to use OpenProcess function, but
one of its parameter is a process ID to a
certain process. Im interested on the process ID
of “Explorer.exe” process. How can I get it? What function do I have to use?

Thanks in advance;

Hi Ricky,

see Matt Pietrek’s MSDN Article Under Hood

or search in MSDN for PSAPI.DLL

Hope this helps

Use:

BOOL EnumProcesses(
DWORD *lpidProcess, // array of process identifiers
DWORD cb, // size of array
DWORD *cbNeeded // number of bytes returned
);

Then use the processs id’s to locate the “explorer.exe”.
