I just tested to launch a program with ShellExecute() and close it
with TerminateProcess() which needs the process handle. I used
FindWindow() to get the handle of the programs window, then
GetWindowThreadProcessId() to obtain the process ID. Then I stumbled
across the OpenProcess() API and this seems to return the process
handle. At least the call to TerminateProcess() worked...
