RE: W2k: Unkillable Applications

SysInternals' (http://www.sysinternals.com) pskill utility will happily kill
winlogon.exe and services.exe.  Killing winlogon will blue screen the
machine so be careful.

I can confirm this; I created a simple Win32 app named "Winlogon.exe" and
Task Manager refused to terminate it. However, I discovered something
interesting: Microsoft's "kill" utility will terminate the faux
winlogon.exe, but will not terminate the real one.
