So there is no way to tell (via GetExitCodeProcess) when NT has released all the
resources...
Wouldn't the same type of thing also occur for the WaitForSingleObject
WaitForSingleObjectEx ?

A success from GetExitCodeProcess does not always guarantee that NT is done
with the process' resources. For example, NT may still keep the EXE file
locked for a short while.
BTW, a better function to use is WaitForSingleObject /
WaitForSingleObjectEx. Pass in the process handle. The object is
signalled
when the process is terminated.

Dennis.
