Well, pardon me for missing the fine print. Your title "BREAK OFF not working if SetConsole("Hide")" is misleading.

Guess you are snookered.

What exactly is actually the problem? A local administrator can kill pretty much any process in the windows Task Manager. And KiXtart has not ben written to be an unkillable process, anyway. Why make the user local administrator if you cannot even trust them?

When I first posted this, I was under the impression that it only wasn't working if the console was set to hidden. After running more tests, it turned out that it didn't matter what the console was set to.

A user with local administrator privileges on a Windows XP machine can terminate the KiXtart process(es) from the Windows Task Manager.

On Windows 2000 systems, any user, even one with local administrator privileges, will get an "Access Denied" message if they attempt to terminate the KiXtart process(es).

Because someone higher up than me says I have to, and if I didn't, I'd have way too much work to do. Read the whole thread, it may make more sense then.

Since you are not prepared to work around this limitation, there is no further recourse... unless of course you manage to bend Ruud's ear. Even then, unless he is prepared to give you a special build, you would have to wait for a future release that can change the DACL on XP.
