Reliably Finding The Path To A Process ... Win XP - Vista And 7
Mar 7, 2011
I have researched the Internet and found more than a few potential solutions, but I keep getting errors on a Windows 7 machine. Here's the scoop. I have an application written in VB.NET that launches a console application. The console application will run independently of my VB.NET app, so the user can close and restart the VB.NET app and potentially start a second session of the console app from the same installation.

In a VB application I am building, I need to launch Outlook. Obviously, on every computer the path to Outlook will not be the same. Thus, I need to know how to find the path of Outlook on the user's computer before I Shell("path"). How would I do this?

Imagine a small application, myApp.exe, that contains one button and a textbox. You drop the application into any folder anywhere on your hard drive, run it, click the button and the textbox says something like this: The full path to the location of this application is:
C:Documents and SettingsColinMy DocumentsDownloadsmyApp.exe
How can the application discover the path to its own location?

I've been doing a lot of coding latley and I'm interested in some things that vb can do. I was wondering if vb has the ability to search a directory for a file or mutipule files within a folder. Like in dos I can do C:user*.* and I can get all files that have . in them. Is there a similer way to do this in VB, I don't think VB has a wildcard or I've not heard that it does so I'm comfused on how I would find a file if I didn't know the path.

figured out a different way to code it that _should_ work around the problems people pointed out before.... but one problem is still the same, the examples I find to code pieces of this are all for old versions of visual basic, and don't workI'm a firefox extension developer. I wrote an extension to allow both private and normal browsing windows simultaneously by having two firefox processes. I figured out a way on the Mac to raise the private browsing process when appropriate... it looks like visual basic is the way to do it on Windows... so I'd like firefox to run a visual basic program that does the following:Look through the process table for all firefox.exe processesFind out the process id of the process that called the visual basic scriptThrow out the process ID of the parent process... now we should just be left with the "private browsing" firefox process

Im making a small servermanager for a game. I have a list of players with their IP's that are currently connected to the the whole game. I want to find out what IP's are connected to a certain process so I can match these with the list of players and then add the players that are in the server hosted by this servermanager, into the playerlist.Adding players to that list and looking them up for a matching IP already works. I just cant figure out how to find all the IP's that are connected to a certain process.

I suppose technically this isn't .NET specific but I suspect this is something to do with the registry and I'm using .NET!I'm trying to find out how to get the fully qualified path relating to a file type.For example, the system knows that to open a PDF file it needs to launch C:Program FilesAdobeAdobe Reader 10.0Readeracrord32.exe
I've had a good long search through the registry and found a lot of references to the adobe path probably too many - and I've edited them to try and "break" the process so I can identify which one is used to discover the path but with no luck. I'm assuming this has something to do with HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT?

I have a small VB. app in VS2008 that opens a windows folder in maximized view.I am using the following code:
Dim startInfo As New ProcessStartInfo("explorer.exe")
startInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Maximized
startInfo.Arguments = "C:\Program Files\123 Systems\ExcelFolders\TechTimeSheet"
Process.Start(startInfo)
When using my app with windows xp it works well. It opens a single folder as if going through the "my computer" to open it. Attached is a screen shot "folder" to show the desired way.However when using the same code with Vista it opens my folder as if I right clicked on the start menu and selected "explore", also a screen shot named "explore" is attached showing what I do NOT want. What should I change to get both vista and XP to work the same, that is opening a single folder.

I'm writing a program that checks processes (when they start), and kills any processes that aren't acceptable. My program is mostly done, but I only just ran into a problem: when I try to get the path (one of the criteria) of a process running under a different user, (MainModule.FileName) I get an exception:
System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception occurred
ErrorCode=-2147467259
Message="Access is denied"
NativeErrorCode=5
Source="System"
[Code] .....
Now, the program doing the checking is running with complete administrator privileges, so I can pretty much wrangle any permission I need. How can I obtain the path of the process? (I can use WMI, by the way, I've already used it for another part of this).

Im working on a Dll Injector. But that is not my problem. I am using a picturebox to display the icon of a running process. E.g. If google chrome is running. The picturebox should display the icon of google chrome.
I can extract the icon to my picturebox only if I know the full path of the process. That API was easily found and works very well.
But know I want my application to get the full path of a running process automatically as soon as I order it.Like in a textbox is write: chrome.exe, and press the button next to it. What do I need to write in the button to get the full path of that running process.(of course only if its running, I if its not running I dont want anything to happned)

I have a fairly simple piece of code for viewing files System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(tFileInfo.FullName
Basically passes the path of a file to the process and let Windows deal with how to open it. Have also tried Dim myProcess As New System.Diagnostics.Process
[Code]...
Works beautifully on my machine, but on three others i have tested it on, it opens PDF and TXT files no problem, but as soon as I attempt to open a Word file or an Excel file I get "There is not enough memory or disk space to open Word" and similar in Excel if the application is not already open. If the Office app is open, the code works perfectly. Has anyone come across this before?

I have a listview with process that are running. my goal is to pass the "path" of the process to a text box when someone clicks on a selection.but my code isnt working correctly, this is what I have:
Private Sub lvwProcBox_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles lvwProcBox.SelectedIndexChanged
Dim pID As Integer = Int32.Parse(lvwProcBox.SelectedItems(0).SubItems(1).ToString)
Dim proc As System.Diagnostics.Process = Process.GetProcessById(pID)
[code]....
and of course the text boxes path changes to a different path if a different selection is made?

Is there a better way of finding the path of a file that was opened with the open file dialogue? This is what I did. It works, but it seems like there should be a way to get the path through one of the open dialogue options.
