you can get this working with Process class.

Process[] acrobats = Process.GetProcessesByName("Acrord32");
foreach (Process p in acrobats)
{
    Console.WriteLine(p.MainWindowTitle);
}

Hope this gives a clue...

The problem is, in the Window-Title there is only the Filename - But I need the complete path. – BennoDual Jan 20 '11 at 10:47

You need to dig deeper,have you ever looked at process explorer.It shows an exe and the files it has access too..so search for that way. – abmv Jan 20 '11 at 10:56
I know the process explorer - But to get the Filehandles, I have to write a driver :-( – BennoDual Jan 23 '11 at 16:14
