processes list

I am writng and uninstaller that needs to close a service that runs all the time. I've tried a few plugins and I can get the service stopped, but it seems that the operating system takes a while to realize that it is closed. Right now all I can do is wait for windows to catch up. Does anybody know how to tell if something is listed in the processes list in windows xp or vista?

Use FindProcDLL. For a more advanced method, you can use the LockedList plug-in which will tell you exactly what process has a file or module locked.

Thanks, that is the only plugin that I've seen that could find that the service is still running.
