Help with events

[Deadly_M]

Hi folks,
Ive asked this question before on this newsgroup but at the time nobody knew
the answer so hopefully somebody else will see this post this time around.

Id like to catch an event in my VB.NET code
the particular event im interested in is programs loading or starting , i
don't necessarily need to know the details of the program but just need to
know when any new ones are loaded or run.

Any ideas ?
Thanx in advance

Thanx for that article link
Im not sure if that will work for this tho. what if the user runs a program
the doesn't have a window ?
also i tried the example code but i could only get it to catch windows
spawned by that particular program , not in the scope of the whole system ?
Thanx

(includes a working WMI sample to detect when a process is created or
destroyed)

These deal with mouse and keyboard hooks. But the idea is the same:
