I sell a software package that starts several windows programs, but does not always shut them down properly. If any of the programs are running, it blocks the windows shutdown functionality. It also won't start the package properly if any of the programs are already running. I get tired of going out to my customers sites to go through the task manager to clean things up. The manufacturer doesn't want to solve the problem, so I want to write a program that will detect if any of the programs are already running, and if they are, shut them down. I need some advice on where to start finding if a program is running. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Robert E Mitchell, Sr. Mill Creek, WA
