Lonkero:

I just ran the same tests using wkix32.exe instead of kix32.exe. The results are pretty much the same. A user with local admin rights on a Windows XP system can still end the process. The only difference is the console cannot be closed, and that's the way it's designed. So the problem still exists with being able to terminate a script if you have local admin rights on a Windows XP system. Doesn't matter if you use kix32.exe or wkix32.exe. As far as I can tell, everything works the way it's supposed to on Windows 2000 systems for both kix32.exe and wkix32.exe.
