There are actually a couple of different, documented, ways to do this.  You
can use EnumProcess (in PSAPI.DLL), or you can pull a list of all the running
processes out of the registry.  Using the registry is more difficult, but if
you do go that route, you can also get a list of all the threads as well,
which, to my knowledge, you can't get by using the PSAPI.DLL stuff.

If you have the MSDN, here are some links to look at for finding out more:

The Registry Interface to Performance Data in NT:
mk:@ivt:pdwbase/native/sdk/win32/pdh/src/perf1cf9.htm


How to use EnumProcess (source code example):
mk:@ivt:pdwbase/native/sdk/win32/sys/src/psap9cmr.htm

The MSDN is online (http://www.microsoft.com/msdn), you should be able to
figure out the online URLs from those above.   If not, let me know, and I can
find them for you.
