Slightly OT: Find a window with no process ID???

From: "Eric Hill" <eric@xxxxxxxxx>

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
