This executable gives us some information on some of our systems and at present we start it up using a button but .... if you then goto the wincc application ,the exe is still running in the background and you can then restart a second instance and a third and ...... till the PC crashes due to not enough memory. Unluckely we don't have the source code to enable us to prevent this kind of problem. Greetings Eric

I attach a small program that enumerates these windows but still does not solve my program Eric Attachment EnumCallbackProject.zip (47 Downloads)

As I understand in my way, we need to handle windows processes. Which programs are running ? Getting the list of processes I know how to do in C# We add to startup: using System.Diagnostics; Buttons click even or wherever we want : Process[] processlist = Process.GetProcesses(); foreach (Process theprocess in processlist) { Console.WriteLine("Process: {0} ID: {1}", theprocess.ProcessName, theprocess.Id); } then we will get list of the process, according to the process or Process Ids we could call again or not. For example; svchost.exe have many instance in windows operating systems. Sorry for not to find in C, but we could find VBS maybe, Written in VBS Best regards,
