Brenden,

BW> With it set that way, how can you stop it at all?

Welcome in the club! ;-)

Seriously, currently the only way that I know of is to
TerminateProcess() it, after having confirmed that there are no user
connections by shutting down all the databases through the services
API. This is not good but I don't know anything better with the
current tools.

Ciao
