Checking for open processes or windows

Hi All,

Looking for some help here.
I'm try to check if some (Microsoft HTML Help Exectuable) files are open before doing a repair or uninstall.

For the current user I'm able to utilise:

FindWindow $0 "HH Parent" "<HELP FILE TITLE>"

But, and bare with me here if there is a different user logged on the the machine at the same time with these files open I can't see them.

Now I could check to see if the process "hh.exe" is running but this doesn't tell me *what* it's running.

Any ideas?

Thanks

How about trying to write to the files themselves with FileOpen? Search the forums for FileOpen.
