Hi,
as other folks have said, "performance data" is the way to do it.

You'll find this on "performance data".

Yes, you'll have to use CreateRemoteThread to "inject code" if you want
information like the current directory of a process (at least on NT
3.5x).
And it *is* hairy! But still unavoidable under some circumstances.
E-mail me if you want a working example.
