Cannot terminate a process.
Hi, Nish, thanks.
I also think so. I guess that CreateProcess(.., _T
("C:\WINNT\explorer.exe D:\",....) create a process which
creates another process to run the "explorer.exe". I ever
tried to use PostThreadMessage but always failed.
I wonder is there any way out to get "parent process id"
of a process? Just now I read some posts in google and
found someone said that there is no such "parent-child"
relationship between process after the so-called "child"
process is created. So it seems that it'll be really hard,
even impossible, to terminate the "C:\WINNT\explorer.exe
D:\" process. :(
Regards.
Jeff
