    Process Terminator

    Well, this is a very simple substitute for Ctrl+Alt+Delete -- it shows all the processes (including the hidden ones, that are not displayed in the Ctrl+Alt+Del window) and allows you to terminate them or view their properties. There is also a "Safe List" feature, where you can hide the "safe" processes that you do not want to display (this is useful for finding spyware).
    It is pretty simple, and was made from a few posts from the forums.

    Re: Process Terminator

    Does this run under NT systems or is it designed for use on 9x systems?
    You might also want to expand the safelist to include the required NT processes (i.e. there's more than explorer.exe)

    Hum, I've never worked with NT... I guess it's just for 9x...

    Re: Process Terminator

    If I were you, I'd heavily modify the code then. All Windows 2000 and 2003 Operating Systems, and all editions of Windows XP are based on the NT kernel - not the 9x...

    Re: Process Terminator

    Hmmm

    How is programming in VB6 in Windows 9x different from programming in Windows NT?

    Apart from the incomplete 'safe list', is there anything in the code that might prevent it from working in NT?
    I'm not really acquainted with how NT works...

    Re: Process Terminator

    Win9x and WinNT are completely different when it comes to running applications

    Re: Process Terminator

    Look at the Platform SDK for Windows 2000 and Windows XP and have a look at the Process related functions
