I'll allow tar and feathers if I'm wrong, but you don't?
Anybody can aquire PROCESS_TERMINATE for the processes running as his own
user (under NT) and to any process (Wintendo - 9x/ME).
You can kill any process you started, either by hand or with any other
tool that states by the Explorer or whatever (they inherit). That is unless
the process is a service or started on purpose by another user and left
there, you can kill it.

You only need privileges if you want to kill a process that does not
belong to you. In that case, I think you need SE_DEBUG privilege (actually,
I KNOW you need it. There might, however, be another way).
What you DO need to do with PROCESS_TERMINATE is to set the flag when
calling OpenProcess. It should be
hProcess := OpenProcess( PROCESS_TERMINATE, false, PID);
if hProcess <> 0 then
TerminateProcess( hProcess, 0)
else
Showmessage('I wuz un''able tuh open the blasted process. You do not
have no permissions here. Shoo.'); // change this in production code
This is from memory and against Peter's recomandation to not type code in
the newsreader. :)
