For some reason in both Windows 2000 and Windows XP Pro, the processes can not be killed by the Administrator, the program that is run by <ctrl><alt><del> is the taskmanager. The one on NT machines is a lot more advanced than the crappy (at best) Windows 9x/ME version. Administrator suposedly has full control over the system, like root, on *nix systems. Though, in the taskmanager, Administrator cannot kill certain system processes, such as devldr32.exe. On my system, perl.exe runs as a system command, so Administrator does not have permission to kill it. That's where TLIST and KILL come into play. I usually just run a batch file every few hours, which kills all the rogue perl processes; though I'd like to not have to worry about even doing that. -- paul
