Just a quick request

[letdown427]

Could you just press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to bring up Task Manager, then check the Process ID for System.exe

I'm hoping it is just 4 for XP, and 8 for 2000, but it might not be.

Just post the number if you want. Thanks.

If you're wondering why, it's for a program I'm making, and although I could add the code to get the Process ID, if it is just 4 and 8 then i'll just use that.

if you can write the code to return the correct value, that is always preferred to hard-coding.

OK, i'll look into it. But for my own curiousity then, is your system.exe PID 4?

Windows XP: Pid is 4

I would get the process by name, so you don't need to check the OS for the PID.

WinXP: PID = 4

awesome, thanks guys. looks like xp is 4(i've looked on a few machines here too)

anymore? I have 2kpro, and it's 8 on that, is it also 8 on 2000?

Windows XP Pro: PID = 4
