How to monitor a process that launches “dllhost.exe”?

updated

I have a problem related to Process.Start();
My program launches files as processes, like so:

Process processMonitor = new Process();
processMonitor.StartInfo.FileName = filePath; // Example: @'C: est.txt'
processMonitor.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
processMonitor.Exited += new EventHandler(Process_Exited);
processMonitor.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
processMonitor.Start();

// Handle Exited event and display process information.
private void Process_Exited(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// This code is called on every exit, except images: (Windows Photo Viewer, *jpg, *png, *bmp etc.)
}


This successfully launches a process, notepad.exe with the correct file.
Catching the Exited event also works so basically i have everything in place to monitor the close event for the process.

Now for the problem...

When doing exactly the same, but now for an image:

processMonitor.StartInfo.FileName = filePath; // Example: @'C: est.jpg'


This is not successfull.. The process launches perfectly, But i can not detect if the process is ever closed. A little research shows me that a process called:


DLLHOST.EXE (COM Surrogate)


Is launched and i cannot detect the Exited event for this process.

Can anybody help me, or at least point me in the right direction?
