I presume you use either ExitProcess or TerminateProcess, however you need the process handle for this to work - there is no mention of requiring these to be called by a process it self.

I have an app. that can only shutdown IF its logged on as an administrator, and even then it askes if you are sure etc. I need to shut the app. down from another app. but if I do SendMessage (hwnd, WM_CLOSE, 0, 0) it obviously tells you that only the admin can close the app. etc. Is there a message or method I can use to kill an app. no mater what ? i.e. unconditionally like end task in the even manager does ? I know I can make my own windows message and do it in a procedure, thats fine in the next verison of the app. but its the ones out there now I need to shut down.
