Hi Szymek, If you're manually killing the parent process using the Windows 2000/XP task manager, selecting "End Process Tree" rather that "End Process" from the context menu will usually do the trick.
If you're hoping to have it all happen automatically, as far is I know there's no inbuilt facility in place that will make this happen. If you're feeling brave, there are couple of avenues you could explore including - * Having a simple watchdog process keep an eye over the main process and its children. * Have each child access the process handle of the parent and keep an eye out for it's termination. * Devise a solution using win32 Job objects (see CreateJobObject, AssignProcessToJobObject and friends) in combination with one of the first two methods.
