Just wondering, is it possible to get the caption of an executable file just by knowing the process name or PID?

If im not clear then i'll give you an example,

You've brought a game, installed it then launch it. Once it has fully loaded you press ALT + TAB to switch to your desktop then you do CTRL + ALT + DEL to pring up the task manager. You goto "processes" in the task manager and notice the process name of your game is called "game.exe", but the CAPTION of your game is called "my game 2005 v1.2".

Anyway of getting that caption?

thank you
