Find applications running in the background

Hi,
I want to know if it is possible to find out through a vb.net application
which other applications are running in the background.For example as soon
as i load my form I want it to check if a particular application is running
eg Ms Word or Corel Draw or what ever.

thanks

regards
Manoj Nair
