I see. Then maybe it's started by another service or something similar. You may have to track down the parent process using, e.g., Process Explorer, and/or even have to hack the parent process (:similar situation with utilman.exe and winlogon.exe, utilman.exe is triggered by winlogon.exe by the hotkey Win+U). However, the simplest solution could be: first kill the process, then just rename it. In this case, however, you might have to be careful with the new name, such as even the short name doesn't match with the new name. (:This is actually what I had done to utilman.exe) Sean ------------------------ Yahoo!
