Automatically restarting a program that was ended using Task Manag

[Guest john_75915]

Is there a way to have a program restart after it is ended in Task Manager?

We use Quickbooks, and the Quickbooks updater is running constantly, but some

users will end the program through Task Manager. There seems to be no way to

hide or block the program from being ended, so I was wondering if it can be

set to automatically restart if ended? Due to others programs we use, all

users have Administrator rights, and that cannot be changed. I look forward

to any suggestions. Thanks.

Anything you can do, an admin can undo. and vice versa. I suppose you could

do something with a scheduled task & a batch file or vbscript, but....

 

I don't see the need to keep the Quickbooks updater service running all the

time anyway. I prefer to manually update.

 

And btw, you *can* make your apps run without admin rights if you're willing

to spend some time figuring out where in the registry & file system the apps

want to go. Check out Process Monitor - a Sysinternals tool now available

for free download from MS.
