Searching the process list

I want to iterate the process list looking at the processes running for the
current user. So I'm using:

foreach (Process p in Process.GetProcesses())
{

}

But I can't see any method or property of the Process object p which tells
me the username of the user running the process. p.StartInfo.UserName always
seems to contain "".

So how can I consider just the processes running under the current user ?

You can't use the Process class for this, you will have to use
System.Management and the WMI classes Win32_logonsession and Win32_Process,
or you have to call the Terminal server API's (WTSEnumerateProcesses,
WTSProcessInfo, WTSOpenServer, WTSCloseServer ....) and pass thSID obtained
by WTSProcessInfo to LookupAccountSid using PInvoke.
