Here is an example...

#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include "psapi.h"

void PrintProcessNameAndID( DWORD processID )
{
char szProcessName[MAX_PATH] = "unknown";

// Get a handle to the process.

HANDLE hProcess = OpenProcess( PROCESS\_QUERY\_INFORMATION |
                               PROCESS\_VM\_READ,
                               FALSE, processID );

// Get the process name.

if (NULL != hProcess )
{
    HMODULE hMod;
    DWORD cbNeeded;

    if ( EnumProcessModules( hProcess, &hMod, sizeof(hMod), 
         &cbNeeded) )
    {
        GetModuleBaseName( hProcess, hMod, szProcessName, 
                           sizeof(szProcessName) );
    }
    else return;
}
else return;

// Print the process name and identifier.

printf( "%s (Process ID: %u)\\n", szProcessName, processID );

CloseHandle( hProcess );

}

void main( )
{
// Get the list of process identifiers.

DWORD aProcesses\[1024\], cbNeeded, cProcesses;
unsigned int i;

if ( !EnumProcesses( aProcesses, sizeof(aProcesses), &cbNeeded ) )
    return;

// Calculate how many process identifiers were returned.

cProcesses = cbNeeded / sizeof(DWORD);

// Print the name and process identifier for each process.

for ( i = 0; i < cProcesses; i++ )
    PrintProcessNameAndID( aProcesses\[i\] );

}

For header files other than my own, I use angle brackets <> instead of quotes. In any case, does the file exist on your machine?
