  Yep, KILL and PS are very handy indeed - but have two "features" that the
normal CTRL-ALT-DEL list under windows doesn't, one of which is shared by
Wintop. The CAD tasklist doesn't show VNC server running in service mode at all,
and while Wintop DOES, it refuses to kill it if you have this disallowed in the
registry. PS lists the process quite happily (as VNC hidden window) and KILL
kills it every time :+)
  Given I have a set of users who will happily kill anything called "hidden
window" (then wonder why their web-browser just crashed) you can see why I might
not want them to have those two utilities :+)
