#1778 closed Bug (No Bug)

ProcessClose() is looking at other logged-in users

Reported by: scriptstopper Owned by:
Milestone: Component: AutoIt
Version: 3.3.6.1 Severity: None
Keywords: Cc:

Description

ProcessClose() should only be able to 'see' processes running in the account which is running the script.

This is especially true when the script-running account, is a regular User and NOT an Administrator.

To replicate, run Windows XP, log in two users and run notepad.exe in each account. In one account, run the following script:
topic 120352 in the forums

$list = ProcessList("notepad.exe")
for $i = 1 to $list[0][0]
  msgbox(0, $list[$i][0], $list[$i][1])
next

There was a bug for exactly the opposite of this at one time (or it was reported on the forum, I can't recall which). The behavior is correct.

Replying to Valik:

How can one logged in user know the processes of another logged on user, when both are not administrators? What is the purpose of knowing what another user in a terminal session is running? It cannot be manipulated/changed. IMHO it seems more like a microsoft bug to allow one user session to know what another is doing..
