In actuality, my news server never posted it after 1 hour, so I posted it again, only to find that it posted them both 2 hours later. Useful comment though.

'System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcesses' and compare the handle to the 'Process' objects' 'MainWindowHandle' property value. -- M S Herfried K.

I just found this, literally about 30 minutes ago, and got it working. Thanks Show quoteHide quote "Herfried K.
