I shut down explorer.exe but it restarts itself...
-
I'm using TerminateProcess to shut down explorer.exe (not iexplore.exe). This works, but a few seconds after explorer.exe is terminated, it starts back up. When I terminate explorer though the Windows Task Manager it doesn't restart itself. I want to control when exporer.exe starts back up. How do I keep it from restarting itself? (I can post my code if anyone thinks it's necessary.) Thanks for the help! Ian

haven't you ever noticed that when windows freezes and you have no desktop and no taskbar anymore, you can do "New task" (with Crtl+Alt+Del or Ctrl+Shift+Esc for example) and type in the field explorer... i don't think the way you think is able to controle what you want.

I'm not sure I follow you. I want to shut down explorer.exe. This I have done (I can see it dissapear from the process list in Windows Task Manager). Now I need to figure out how to keep it from starting itself back up. I know this is possible because I have seen other applications that shut it down and keep it down. I don't suppose they continually shut it down in a separate thread?
