Hey guys, I need your help. I´m doing a Task Manager type application. For a Operating Systems class. I'm using the Diagnostics.Process to get almost all things they ask me too, but I can´t find a way to get the "mode". What I want is to know if the process is running in (priviledged mode or user mode)?.


Thank you in advance for your answer,

Leito.

Thanks Matty, as I mentioned. I'm using the Process class, but I can't find a way to get the current mode in which the process is running (user or priviledge(monitori/kernel)).

Maybe their is another way... since I can't find it in the Process class.

The way Windows works is that all processes run in user mode, and only the kernel is in priviledged mode. A process making a system call basically calls kernel code, which is already priviledged.

In fact, on most OSes, processes all run in user mode. This way, they're protected from damaging each other.
