For example when your task bar dissapear you can run (through > Ctrl+Shit+ESC) a new instance of explorer.exe and it appears again. Yes, they are 2 different applications. But I mean shell ought to find these 2 applications all, not only explorer. On my local ruby script, it only find explorer application, but in windows taskmanager there are 2 tasks: explorer and internet explorer. I want to know how can ruby get the correct application info on windows 2008. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
