Re: Locked .exe

I think the task remain executing somewhere on your system.
On Windows2K/NT/XP, you can check that in the Task Manager.

        WM_DESTROY OF
            ....
            \ standalone app: PostQuitMessage
            \ else task NOT removed by Windows
=====> 0 PostQuitMessage DROP
        ENDOF
