get process from file adress

You can do opposite, that is you can get list of running process. Get path of the executable file of this ruunig process, if the path of process is same as our file path name, then kill the process. I have written a code below which shows how to find the process and kill it. I have just modified the code for finding details of running process from MSDN[^], so that we can get the path and kill that process.

#include <windows.h>
#include <tlhelp32.h>
#include <tchar.h>

//  Forward declarations:
BOOL GetProcessList( );
BOOL ListProcessModules( DWORD dwPID );

#define MY_EXE_FILE_NAME	"C:\\CompanyName\\MyExe.com"
int main( void )
{
  GetAndKillProcess( );
  return 0;
}

BOOL GetAndKillProcess( )
{
  HANDLE hProcessSnap;
  HANDLE hProcess;
  PROCESSENTRY32 pe32;
  DWORD dwPriorityClass;

  // Take a snapshot of all processes in the system.
  hProcessSnap = CreateToolhelp32Snapshot( TH32CS_SNAPPROCESS, 0 );
  if( hProcessSnap == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE )
  {
    printError( TEXT("CreateToolhelp32Snapshot (of processes)") );
    return( FALSE );
  }

  // Set the size of the structure before using it.
  pe32.dwSize = sizeof( PROCESSENTRY32 );

  // Retrieve information about the first process,
  // and exit if unsuccessful
  if( !Process32First( hProcessSnap, &pe32 ) )
  {
    printError( TEXT("Process32First") ); // show cause of failure
    CloseHandle( hProcessSnap );          // clean the snapshot object
    return( FALSE );
  }

  // Now walk the snapshot of processes, and
  // display information about each process in turn
  do
