Hi

Does anyone know a way of getting the details of the user applications
that are currently running on his machine? To be very specific, I want
to get the list of all applications that are currently running on my
machine (the list of applications that shows up in the 'Applications'
tab of the Windows Task Manager)

Is there a way I can retrieve this list in Java?
Any tips/suggestions/pointers will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Shraddha

It's cool, but..

>..for the cross-posting!

..it was actually a multi-post. There is an important difference,
and sometimes cross-posting (x-posting) *is* the best thing to do.
