You have to enumerate the running processes yourself looking for the names manually. You can do that using either:

1) CreateToolhelp32Snapshot(), Process32First(), and Process32Next(). See MSDN for an example:

Taking a Snapshot and Viewing Processes

2) EnumProcesses(), OpenProcess(), EnumProcessModules() and GetModuleBaseName(). See MSDN for an example:

Enumerating All Processes

3) use WMI to enumerate the items in the Win32_Process collection.
