I have a command prompt window open on my desktop. I can move the window, minimize it, and maximize it. The last line on the screen is "exit". There is no cmd.exe process listed in the Task Manager, but the cmd.exe window is shown under Applications.
W--T--F--?
How can a window be active with no underlying process, and furthermore, since there is no process to close the window, how can I close the window without rebooting the computer???
Thanks,
Eric
Although console windows are owned by the client application, they are also maintained by csrss.exe (which you can't kill). Sounds like csrss has gone into a funny state and hasn't destroyed the window when the client app died. Maybe the client was being debugged and didn't exit cleanly....
you could try 'winspy++' from my website which can close some windows....but probably you need to log off/on or reboot.
