Re: How to kill application?

I see what the problem is. I was logged in as an Admin. Another Admin
session was also going on, which lunched the program in question. I did not
notice until I logged in as that Admin. His session was disconnected but
not logged off. So the program he lunched was still in memory. That's why
I couldn't delete or see the process in memory. It was in another session.

I ran into the same problem again because I lunched programA from home as an
Admin. Then at work, I logged in as Admin2 and tried to delete programA but
couldn't. I right clicked on the taskbar, selected task manager, the users
tab and logged off Admin. This killed the prog and I was able to delete it.

Interesting that admin1 can't see processes admin2 has lunched, even though
admin1's processes can affect admin2.
