I would like to be able to have my program maintain a list of the programs currently running on the system and, if possible, some information of those (like path and name of the user who started the application).

I havn't tried this since win95 came out so my personal experience may not be helpful. I have, however, found an articel on CodeGuru with C++ code which may help
