Glad i could be of help

btw my nick is @ruantec and not Ruantec

.... now about your questions..

Process[] procs=Process.GetProcesses(".") ensures to get all processes on every machine on your network as far as i know(i may be wrong maybe) while Environment.MachineName.ToString() just search a target machine... anyways if you move your mouse over the .MachineName you will realize that is already a string and therefore the conversion to .Tostring() is not needed so you can write Environment.MachineName.

by writing process.MainWindowTitle.Length>0 i check for the mainmodule title.. background, system and other processes doesn´t have a window at all and therefore they lack of windowtitle. opened processes do have a windowtitle and that´s why i check there length to see if is a open process. anyways theres another method to find opened applications other than the one i´ve showed you sofar but i think the one you use makes the job for now so no need to show the API way

.

one last thing...when you list your process i recommend you to use a listview and create different columns for your data were in one of them you store the processID or the handle of the process.. in that way you don´t have to loop over and over to end a single process because when you click a selected item on the list you can easily get the ID back from the subitem column of your listview.. this will increase performance and at the same time make your app more responsible in case it stuck somewhere lol.
