FWIW, there's a registry key of use here:
HKEY_USERS\.Default\Control Panel\Desktop\AutoEndTasks
if this value is set to "1", then processes get hard killed during a logoff.
In other words, the "Wait, End Task, Cancel" box should never show up once
this value is set.
If you want this to work for an existing user, change
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\etc etc instead of HKEY_USERS\Control
Panel\etc etc
Cheers,
John
