How to find & list the current running programs

[Coolguy]

I want to know how to find out the current running programs by running a VB program which checks for every 10 seconds what are the currently opened/running programs. I want to know how to detect that a programs that running/opened and it should get listed in the program that I'm running.

Can someone help please. I want to run this on NT4. How can I achieve this? Please help

That doesn't list the running processes.
