Not getting path of various system processes by GetModuleFileNameEx() - delphi

Question

I have created this function to get the path of various network processes, like svchost, Firefox, etc. Here is the code:
function GetProcessPath(var pId:Integer):String;
var
Handle: THandle;
begin
Result := '';
try
Handle := OpenProcess(PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION or PROCESS_VM_READ, False, pID);
if Handle <> 0 then
begin
try
SetLength(Result, MAX_PATH);
if GetModuleFileNameEx(Handle, 0, PChar(Result), MAX_PATH) > 0 then
SetLength(Result, StrLen(PChar(Result)))
else
Result := '';
finally
CloseHandle(Handle);
end;
end;
except
on E:Exception do
ShowMessage(E.ClassName + ':' + E.Message);
end;
end;
My problem is that I do not get the path of all the processes. It works fine for getting the path of Firefox, and other similar user level processes. But for processes like alg, Svchost, I cannot get the path by this method. My guess is I must use some different API. How can I fix this problem?
I am using Windows XP, 32 bits.

You need to set debug privileges. Here is how it is done:
function NTSetPrivilege(sPrivilege: string; bEnabled: Boolean): Boolean;
var
hToken: THandle;
TokenPriv: TOKEN_PRIVILEGES;
PrevTokenPriv: TOKEN_PRIVILEGES;
ReturnLength: Cardinal;
begin
Result := True;
// Only for Windows NT/2000/XP and later.
if not (Win32Platform = VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_NT) then Exit;
Result := False;
// Obtain the processes token
if OpenProcessToken(GetCurrentProcess(),
TOKEN_ADJUST_PRIVILEGES or TOKEN_QUERY, hToken) then
begin
try
// Get the locally unique identifier (LUID) .
if LookupPrivilegeValue(nil, PChar(sPrivilege),
TokenPriv.Privileges[0].Luid) then
begin
TokenPriv.PrivilegeCount := 1; // One privilege to set
case bEnabled of
True: TokenPriv.Privileges[0].Attributes := SE_PRIVILEGE_ENABLED;
False: TokenPriv.Privileges[0].Attributes := 0;
end;
ReturnLength := 0; // Replaces a var parameter
PrevTokenPriv := TokenPriv;
// Enable or disable the privilege
AdjustTokenPrivileges(hToken, False, TokenPriv, SizeOf(PrevTokenPriv),
PrevTokenPriv, ReturnLength);
end;
finally
CloseHandle(hToken);
end;
end;
end;
NtSetPrivilege('SeDebugPrivilege', TRUE); // Call this on form create
