For what reason shall someone do that?
Unicows only makes sense on Win9x and the Task-Manager doesn't work under
these operating systems as it uses NT-only API's.

As I also said, WideCharToMultiByte() can cause data corruption if a Unicode
character isn't supported by the currently selected ANSI codepage.
MultiByteToWideChar() is no problem, but the other direction can be
problematic.

After all, we're coding for Windows Server 2003-compatibility here.
We don't have to care about compatibility with Win9x (ANSI-only) or previous
NT versions.
