Exename in WinNT

[Everclear]

I need to know how to find the executable name of any handle. Not just the forms exe.
I know you can use the app.exename so im not looking for that.
Looking for something like

Function FindTheDamnExecutableNameFromADamnHandle(DamnHandle as long) as string

Oh and it has to work in Windows NT.
CreateToolSnapShot and ProcessFirst do not work in NT.

Argh! Sorry this is not an answer, but I have exactly the same question.

There *MUST* be a way in NT but damned if I can find it.\

Anyone?!?

Okay people. This really pisses me off when morons like the one above post messages without reading the message in its entirity.
It's so frusterating having hope that you have an answer and then some dumb shmuck posts a solution that you've already said won't work.
Wow.
Okay now for that dumb shmuck. (I don't know what words I'm allowed to say on here but let me tell you I'm thinking of better ones.)
NOT USING THE CreateToolhelpSnapshot AND ProcessFirst COMMANDS CAUSE THEY DON'T WORK IN WINDOWS NT
THANK YOU.

Doesn't EnumProcesses work in Windows NT? You should be able to do something similar with it.
