    So Mstask.exe cannot be ended "safely" from the task manager?

    Ok, you try it and let me know what happens.
    Also try ending Explorer.exe and let me know what happens too.

    Nothing wrong. Most times ending Explorer, it restarts of it's own accord. If not, just select "New Task" and type "Explorer.exe" (without the quotes!) and <enter>

    Ok I see. I guess I wouldn't have known that if it wasn't actually tested.
