opened filename Process info

Hi,

I would like to get, from my vb.net code, names of opened filenames in
other processes. That's to say, if "test.doc" is open in Microsoft Word,
getting "fullpath/test.doc"

I searched "windows sdk" and began with "openprocess" environment but
didn't find so far. It doesn't seem either that this info would in the
register

thanks
