Call GetModuleFileNameEx. Available as of Windows 2000.

DWORD WINAPI GetModuleFileNameEx(
  __in      HANDLE hProcess,
  __in_opt  HMODULE hModule,
  __out     LPTSTR lpFilename,
  __in      DWORD nSize
);

Use NULL for the second parameter to get the name of the EXE file.

The GetProcessImageFileName function retrieves the name of the executable file for the specified process handle (WinXP, Server 2k3 or later), as does QueryFullProcessImageName for Vista and 2k8 or later.
