End Process question
Like so many others, I have hung processes. killaps and tskill both won't do
it. It is a set of two programs that network with each other, pd.exe and wish84.exe, of the Pure Data program of Miller Puckette. Alas, they open anew each time and stay on the process list when closed. I can end the pd process, but I currently have about 2 dozen wish84.exe processes with different PIDs. They take up 200K each. They are not using CPU power, but my system is extremely slow. tskill doesn't give any error, it just brings up the next command line and wish84.exe remains in place. Any ideas? |

Locate where these applications are running from:
For this you can do a search. Option 1: Go to Administrative Tools, Open the Local Security policy, Open Up Software Restriction Policy. Make a new path rule and then deny execution from the path in which these applications are running. If these applications are running in MIXED directory with needed applications such as system32/ Option 2: Determine the priviledges that the application is running on. in taskmgr.exe are they started by YOU or local system? If they are started by local system, they are probably services. Go to services.msc and de-elevate their priviledges to run on a low-guest account. At that point you can deny access to those application for that account by setting the SECURITY for these EXE's. (We want to DENY the execution right) Now kill them they dont have the right to start another process; IF THEY RUN IN YOUR NAME.. that is they impersonate you they can set permisions back so de-elevating them to an account below your own is crucial here. Finally if they are not a service; you have to login onto an account that is a "USer" buil-in group group. Then run taskmng.exe with elevated rights, by using the RunAs command; login into you Administrator account, disable the EXECUTE ACL (security flag) for these applications, and then kill them one by one. When they are not executing make sure to remove them and delete them so they don't start again. to do this: 1.) Delete the files from the HD 2.) open up msconfig and remove the Startup/Services from which they were running. HTH, -- Andrew Frantsuzov ) PCLX http://ww.pclx.com "Chuckk" wrote in message ...

There is also an tool application called PView.exe (Process Explode) which
allows to remove ACLs from proccesses hence removing their rights on the Windows OS. If you play around with it you can just de-elevate their rights and kill them off one by one. -- Andrew Frantsuzov ) PCLX http://ww.pclx.com "Chuckk" wrote in message ...
