This is VERY dangerous to system stability. If you use this process and your program ends unexpectedly (crashes) Windows will blue screen.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post. If you do use my code all I ask, as a courtesy, is to make note of where you got it from.

I agree with BrewManNH, and would love to hear some legitimate scenarios where you would need this, or where it is worth the risk.

It will be interesting to see how many times new users crash their systems trying to write and debug an application that uses this procedure (with the purest intentions or not) without disabling it first. :lol:

It is a clean example left to the users discretion whether or not to use it, the author does warn of the blue screen potential but its use in distributables is questionable to say the least.

Unless your program is critical to the system in some way (security for example) it should not prevent the user killing it off, but if your program causes loss of state and data due to a BSOD because of some oversight on your part; you're not going to be popular.
