Re: W2k: Unkillable Applications

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

Under Windows 2000 Pro, I made a copy of "notepad.exe" renamed to
"winlogon.exe", and could not kill it via the Task Manager. Both the 'kill'
command and the VC++ debugger were able to kill it.

Help-->About in Task Manager shows Windows version 5.0, build 2195, SP2.
