Can you debug it? Can you send it a signal? Can a COM object talk to it? Can 
you change its priority?

Try starting up the task manager and killing off csrss.exe or the login 
process (winlogin.exe?) and see what you get.

That's what I was talking about. Sorry I couldn't help.

Here, it's in CP->Local Security Policy->Local Policies. You probably have 
something for group policy management, which I certainly wasn't using back 
in NT4 days. :-)

You're thinking of userpassword2.cpl or some such. (userpswd2?) It's not 
there, I don't think. That lets you assign users to groups, not rights to 
groups.
