Mark,
Check out
http://www.sysinternals.com. They have a couple of free tools, FileMon.exe and RegMon.exe that can do that, on the user's machine.
HTH,
>Is there a way to detect (via VFP/API) what are the processes running on a users machine? Spyware seems easy to detect when you look at a user's running processes - it would be nice if I could have a VFP app that recorded their processes and alerted me to things running that should not be there. Any advice is appreciated! Thanks.
