Automatically restarting a program that was ended using Task Manag

[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.
