Process Description Name

I'm currently working with this piece of code:



But what it is doing is getting the actual .exe name of the process - example "dwm.exe".
I want it to give the file description of the .exe - example instead of "dwm.exe" the description of dwm.exe is "Desktop Window Manager" and I want that file description to show up in the checkedliskbox instead of the .exe name.

Is this possible to get a list of the running process and show the file description name instead of the .exe name?

Please help!

Hi,

I've been searching, but it seems there is no way to find the description of the processes running. It's not a property of Process. As you can't extract the full path of the process running, you also can't use the System.IO.FileInfo.

I think you have something in mind like the tasklist in the taskmanager. I think that list is created based on all open windows. Like I said, I don't think it can be done, but perhaps there is someone else who knows a solution.

Cheers,

Steven
