Who is stopping your programs? - Are they crashing with exception ?
Remember that programs running under a Windows Service has not the same access to user settings etc.

This is a good point, my 5. It looks like OP is trying to find artificial trick instead of getting to the root of the problem.
Please see my answer.

To best of my knowledge, nothing can prevent an application process from killing by a user having sufficient privileges and the process handle.

Moreover, one can use Sysinternals utility PsKill which can kill any local or remote process unconditionally, even if it can destabilize or completely screw up the system, see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896683[^].

Why doing that?
