Stopping a Process from being Terminated

Heyas,

In Windows 7 if I am running as a standard user. My question si how do I stop certain processes I nominate from being terminated via the task scheduler with out first entering a password. I have heard of ACL for windows but I haven't been able to find any good tutorials on to use it.

Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

Well, you really can not.  At the end of the day if the user created/owns the process then the user can technically terminate the process.

While it is technically possible to change the DACL preventing the owner from accessing the process, the owner will always be able to change the DACL back to suit them.

I would suggest against this approach and instead run the process as a user whom the logged in user doesn't have credentials for.

Hi Rowansmith,

What you say makes sense, how would then I run a program in startup as a user whom the logged in user doesn't have credentials for.

Thank you.
