Mutex Search
Is the a way to get a list of current mutexes in a system?

Why would you want to get a list? Application might use tons of mutexes, there is nothing useful there.

Look at the BaseNamedObject category in that apllication (Mutant).

Thanks, the reason I needed the list of mutexes was to find out if a specific program creates a mutex and if it does it will make it easier to check if that program is running when the installer is launched.
