Thats a race condition, What happens to the processes that are created and end between the hash++ loop?

That depends on what he needs the list of new processes for. If it is for something as simple as highlighting new processes in a listing, he wouldn't care about processes that have already exited. However, the only way I can see of making sure you'd see every process, no matter how fast it exited, is by some sort of a callback that would be triggered by process creation. Perhaps the Win32 API offers that, I don't know. But that's not the question that was asked.	[reply]
