Greetings! I created a simple win32 app named winlogon.exe... in win2k Adv
Server, I could end it as an application/task, but not as a process. Maybe
this clears things up a bit...

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.
