Discovering 'headless' IE processes

G

Guest

We have a situation where on exit internet explorer on XPsp1 will leave
behind a headless process. We can find these using task manager since IE does
not appear in the application tab but iexplorer appears in the process tab.

I would like to programmatically discover these, I've tried WIN32_PROCESS
but cannot find a way to determine whether the process is still considered an
'application' or is only a process.
