Thanks for the info. Actually I'm not sure that what I was planning would necessarily be helping out. I'm doing some research and I just got lazy and sick of searching through the Windows API to try and figure out how to get windowed tasks. The research I'm doing is to create a Java-based task manager using native connectors (i.e. JNI or the Java native loadlibrary(..)). Anyway I did some stuff with the Windows API in Ruby, and thought I'd go a little deeper and give it a try in Java. As for the development resources, those might become useful also. Thanks. Happy hacking, you know what I mean.
