MSDN Says

SYMPTOMS
A process continues to exist after a call to the TerminateProcess function on that process has successfully returned.

CAUSE
When there is a request to terminate a process through the TerminateProcess function, Windows stops all the user-mode activity of the target process. However, the target process cannot actually exit until all kernel-mode activity specific to that process is complete. This means that the target process continues to exist until all of its threads have left kernel-mode and all pending IO has been canceled.

This situation occurs as the result of a device driver not releasing a thread or not canceling IO. The process continues to exist until the IO completes and all threads in the process are released from kernel mode.

GOOD LUCK

Do u have any idea that how much time it may take to complete the opertaion like pending IO ????
If u r not closing a kernel object in user mode not properly, this may cause problems....

Sometimes you can call CancelIO( handle ).  It is not availble on Win 95.

I have find out the solution my self.
The problem was because of teminal services running on that system.When another terminal user runs that APP.It will be shown as a proces on the pslist.

Good info.  I suggest that you post to Community Support and ask to have your points refunded since you found the answer yourself.  

I recommend that this NOT be deleted, but rather saved as a PAQ.
