    Retreiving running processes list...

    Ok... In WinXP .. ctrl+alt+del you can view all the process's, and the 2nd column shows the "User Name" for the process. How does one get the user name for the processes.

    I'm enumerating the process's with Process32Next .... I just want to get the ones ran by the user, and not the SYSTEM, LOCAL SERVICE, and NETWORK SERVICE processes.

    You need special access privileges for enumerating all processes. I actually don't quite know how to do it if you have these rights.
    The task manager has these rights. Your app probably has not, unless executed by an admin.
    Try EnumProcesses.

    The problem is, I am enumerating every running process. I want to only get the user ones... I don't want the SYSTEM, LOCAL SERVICE, or NETWORK SERVICE ones.

    Ah, I thought you want all but don't get them.

    As I said, I'm missing my reference and MSDN online is just too slow to work with so I can't look it up myself, but there should be some function in the Processes and Threads category that lets you find out the owner.

    I know of ones that let you get the parent process, and other info.. But not one that lets you get the 'owner'. I've looked and looked
