If you opened a process from MC, you can check the openProcesses to see a
list of apps.
If you're trying to find any non-MC-launched apps, I don't believe there's a
built-in way to do this, but Tuviah Snyder's external collection can provide
a list of applications that are displayed as open in the task bar.
