The easiest way is to change the code to start it with CreateProcess 
or with ShellExecuteEx so that you already have the process id when 
the call finishes.

If you know the caption of the window that the program you are 
launching and it is unique you could use FindWindow to get the window 
handle (the HWND) and then call GetWindowThreadProcessId

If you can't do either of the above then look at the set of functions 
CreateToolhelp32Snapshot, Process32First,  Process32Next and 
CloseHandle.
