Terminate process, wrong path?

Post by ira »

Processes(fn).Terminate;

fn is d:\explorer.exe

Run the program, explorer.exe in C:\Windows also got killed.

Solution?

Thanks.

Which OS are we talking about? Can you reproduce this with a small test project?

Tried on Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64.

Rename any program to explorer.exe and put it on d:, run it, kill with Processes('d:\explorer.exe').Terminate;

Explorer.exe in C:\Windows folder also got killed.

This problem should be fixed in the next build (should be released in a couple of days).
