I'm running programs from Eclipse (on Windows) that eat a lot of CPU time. To avoid bogging down my whole machine, I set the priority to Low with the Task Manager. However, this is a cumbersome manual process. Is there a way Eclipse can set this priority automatically? EDIT: I realized that each particular launcher (Java, Python etc) ha...

Is there any way to protect my Delphi application from being killed by the Windows task manager (or others like Process Explorer)? I think Windows messages can do that (by doing a hook and intercepting the TerminateProcess message). I want an example of this protection. The Kaspersky Anti-Virus suites are like this; we can't end their ...

Because this key combination is treated differently than others, the Windows Security Dialog Box appears immediately after it is pressed and my program can not detect whether it is pressed. I tried adding the code below to the KeyDown event, but it does not work. i...
Two applications share memory by MMF. A create MMF (about 1GB), B open that MMF file by name. When I see Windows Task Manager, A has 1GB memory. But, after several closing and launching B app again, (or after 1 days later? I'm not sure how to reproduce) A's memory in Windows Task Manager is below 1K bytes. My guess is, maybe because A a...

Note: I've asked this question in a similiar format on superuser but it seems like it may fit here on SO better. It definitely also is about programming as it concerns parts of the Win32 API, Windows in general and process management. So there are these processes that can't be terminated with taskkill - system processes in general. But ...
I've inherited some windows-mobile code that I've been bringing up-to-date. I've come across a weird bug, and I was hoping that even though a bit vague, maybe it will spark someone's memory: Running the app (which is basically a glorified Forms app with P/Invoke gps code), I switch to the task manager, and close the app via End Task. Se...
