  There are many cases:
  In NTkernel Windozes:
   using psapi.dll functions I
  In NTkernel windozes & .NET framework:
   using System.Diagnostics.Process classes

  Try the EnumWindows API call.  In the callback procedure, use the API for retrieving a caption based on the hwnd.  Sorry, I don't remember the API for this .

  The EnumWindows will show all aplications that have a window...
  All windowless aplications will remain...unknown...

  I understand by taskbar apps, all apps that have an icon in the taskbar, therefore we are talking about applications with a window only.  Processes like findfast should not be enumerated as this and other processes are not being shown in the taskbar.  That is why I thought of the enumwindows .
  

  
  A matter of interpretation, I guess.

  If I understand you....
  

  
  Try Process32First API Call and Process32Next API Call.
  

  
  

  
  Examples are in API-Guide v3.7...... Search for it or go to allapi.net and download the apiguide.
