    Hello, 16bit applications do not show up in System.Diagnostics.Process. Is there a dotnet way to list the 16bit applications that are running? Thank you Nathan

      Nope. They are contained within a shell process, either NTVDM or WOWEXEC.

        Thanks Dave, I figured that but was hopeful. I tried to use FindWindow api to find the title of the window i'm looking for but my pc is vista (work environment is split between vista and xp) and it returns a value regardless if it finds a window with that title or not. Is there something else more accurate I can use? Thanks again Nathan
