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.

How to ask questions the smart way!

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.

Back up and restore Windows user files _Array.au3 - Modified array functions that include support for 2D arrays.  -  ColorChooser - An add-on for SciTE that pops up a color dialog so you can select and paste a color code into a script.  -  Customizable Splashscreen GUI w/Progress Bar - Create a custom "splash screen" GUI with a progress bar and custom label.  -  _FileGetProperty - Retrieve the properties of a file  -  SciTE Toolbar - A toolbar demo for use with the SciTE editor  -  GUIRegisterMsg demo - Demo script to show how to use the Windows messages to interact with controls and your GUI.  -   Latin Square password generator

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.
