Managing Windows processes 2004-06-09 - By Aloys Baillet
Back
If you have no time to learn python, I think Sebastian's solution may be
better...
But just in case :
ActivePython propose only python 2.3.2, so if you want to be up-to-date,
I would advice you to download python 2.3.4 on python.org.
And yes, pywin32 is a python extension you can find on sourceforge.
And finally, the demo script winprocess.py show you everything you want
to know! you can run it from command line and by default it launches the
windows notepad....
