Crashing Processes

After a bit of a break, I'm back, and I wondered if anyone knew how to crash certain processes on a Windows box, without crashing the box itself. I had a look at GPF (General Protection Faults), but I can't find a way to cause one in a sibling process.

welcome back...

um,what about the taskkill command? you can end processes by name or by PID with it....

the problem is, my account has very few privileges. my command prompt and taskmanager have been reenabled via hex-edit, and i only managed to get a location for execute and write permission (needed for installing,storing, and then running various programs) with a well sneaked in "subst". i need to find a way to stop several programs running with system privileges. i also cannot write to the registry, as it is a network hive. any thoughts?

hm,if it´s possible to run programs you can try to run an alternative taskmanager like Process Explorer.

another thought I have is to crash a process by limiting its memory allocation to zero....but it´s just a thought, I googled a little about this but havn´t found something useful yet...
