Hi,

You could find some info, here.

There is a simple way to do this but there is a access security issue.
Since most of your processes run from the windows system folder the access will be denied as soon as you try to get the path, but here is the code anyways to add all the info to a listbox component, it's just not gonna do you any good.

Dim processes As System.Diagnostics.Process()
processes = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcesses
Dim process As System.Diagnostics.Process
For Each process In processes
    listProcess.Items.Add(process.ProcessName.ToString + " " + process.Id.ToString + " " + process.MainModule.FileName.ToString)
Next

thank u all. Both works fine...
