How can I check to see if an executable is running?

If you know its classname, you could use the FindWindow API.

Code:

HWND hWindow = FindWindow("ClassName", "WindowText")
if( hWindow )
{
    // Window found
}

I know about that way... but is there anyway to see if a specific executable is running...

What if it didnt have a window?
