title: Is there any way to start process in suspended state?
body: <p>I want to launch a process in suspended state. Is there any way to do this by using only standard tools coming with Windows XP? Is there any lightweight third party tools?</p>
  
  <p>Problem I'm trying to solve:<br>
  I have a application which I want to debug it by using Visual Studio 2005. I have debug build with necessary *.pdb files and I have all sources referenced from these *.pdb files. I don't want to create an empty solution which will run that application for me, so I'm trying to attach to this process after it's launched from other place. Some part of code I want to debug is executed at the beginning of process start-up, so I want to run it in suspended mode, attach a debugger and then resume it.</p>
