RE: W2k: Unkillable Applications

I can confirm this; I created a simple Win32 app named "Winlogon.exe" and
Task Manager refused to terminate it. However, I discovered something
interesting: Microsoft's "kill" utility will terminate the faux
winlogon.exe, but will not terminate the real one.

cannot confirm that. I renamed one of my applications to Winlogon.exe and
succeeded to kill it without any problem with taskmanager.
