That's a Windows security feature. Even the administrator doesn't have
rights to terminate a process that was started by a service (the same thing
will happen if you try shutting down an SMTP32.EXE process, for example,
that is started by a service). Microsoft does have a program to bypass
this, that will let you run task manager with enough privileges to
terminate a process that was started by a service.
