Can you also try removing your \WINNT directory and see what happens? A little bit of sarcasm. Quite honestly I'm sure there are thousands of methods you can use to muck up your system if you wanted to, running arbitrary programs (which a normal user wouldn't run) is one of them. Once you have execute permission on a Windows system there's not alot limiting you from using resources. - Oliver

I ran services.exe from the run box, and it took my load up to 100%. Checking the task list, there were 2 services.exe and Win2K would not allow me to kill either process. The one I spawned was running at 99% of load. I then started up another 10 services.exe processes. Eventually, the load spread to about 33% over 3 of the processes. I don't see a way to kill these processes without a reboot. Have a nice day.
