Can you explain what you mean by, "visible to the UI" and "below UI level"?

CreateToolhelp32Snapshot has no notion of what's "visible to the UI" or
"below UI level."  According to MSDN, using the TH32CS_SNAPPROCESS flag
results in a list of "...all processes in the system."  Can you provide an
example of a process that would not be in the list of "all processes in the
system?"
