| What you ask for is not provided by the Win32 API at all.  You have to drop

Hi Remy.

I posted a response via google from work today, but I cant
see it here. In any case, thanks for the help - it would
explain why I could not find an API routine to do it.

I have used process explorer and handle before, but it's
just that I was asked to write such a function(in VB
actually), and wanted to explore the possibilities of
creating it.

Cheers.
