I am using “TerminateProcess (procHandle, 0)” to kill threads. It works for most, but some threads it can’t kill. WHY? Also the task manager can’t kill those threads either.
Is there a way to force kill any thread?
What else can I do?
thx
Normally you cannot kill processes of other users if you don’t have required rights. For example it is not possible to kill processes running as SYSTEM user, processes of other users on a terminal server, etc.
Citation from MSDN: “The handle must have the PROCESS_TERMINATE access right. For more information, see Process Security and Access Rights.”
