    get the username associated with a process

    Hi,

    I am trying to get the name of the user which stared a process... similar to
    the user name column in the process list in task manager. I have looked
    through the Process members but am at a loss to find what I require!

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

      You'll have to do some PInvoke with the Win32 API. Here's a C# example
      that shows the calls and process:

          You can utilize the 'Win32_Process' class and its 'GetOwner' method to
          determine domain and user the process is belonging to. The documentation on
          'Win32_Process' contains a VBScript sample on how to do that:

          Platform SDK: Windows Management Instrumentation -- 'Win32_Process'
          <URL:http://msdn.microsoft. com/library/en-us/wmisdk/wmi/win32_process.a sp>

          Samples for VB.NET and C# can be found here:
