Monitor Processes during execution of the .exe

[guinness]

I am a newb to the forum, but have been using Autoit + Help File for a while searching the forums to the questions I have, instead of getting you guys to do the dirty coding for me!

Below is a piece of code which monitors the processes during the running of the script (.exe) and when the script (.exe) closes, kills all the processes that were open during that time. The problem is that it works as it should do in XP but when it comes to Vista(!) the closing of the processes that have opened during that time take a while to close. For example if I leave the script running for an hour it will take 5 mins to exit, because of the enormous size of the variable $Snapshot. Could someone with more knowledge than me please shed some light on the whole situation. I realise Vista works differently to that of 2000/XP but ideally I would like a script that can do the above, perhaps filtering the processes might help???

CODE

$Temp = ProcessList()

$Snapshot = ""

For $i = 1 to $Temp[0][0]

$Snapshot=$Snapshot&" "&$Temp[$i][1]

Next

;CONTINUE SCRIPT

$Temp = ProcessList()

Dim $Closelist[20]

For $i = 1 to $Temp[0][0]

If StringInStr( $Snapshot,$Temp[$i][1] )=0 Then

ProcessClose( $Temp[$i][1])

ProcessWaitClose( $Temp[$i][1] )

EndIf

Next

PS I have searched for the answer in the forum but to no avail. Help would be much appreciated.
