Bill,

Thank you very much for this!

It seems to work cross-user context, but, it reports the path of how the
process was started.  So if I run 'notepad' from a prompt, the program
will just come back with 'notepad', when what I really need to get at is
where the binary is running from (c:\windows\system32\notepad.exe).  I
guess I should have been more clear with my question.

Any ideas?  

I know this is possible because I have a 3rd party app that does just
that.

Thanks,

Darin

You could try WMI (not sure if it will improve results)  - sample test
script sent off list.
