If you search the web (and possibly TheScripts) you will find lots of information. You just have to know the right terms. This is referred to as enumerating the running applications, or tasks, or processes (or windows, I expect). I just did a quick Google search for "vb enumerate applications" and found quite a few links (about 293,000). One which looks promising is enumerate Win32 processes from VB.
