Hello Kern, I think (I'm not a windows-programmer) it should be possible to kill the parent-process and continue to run as in windows there is no real process-tree.
As said, I'm no windows-programmer, but maybe someone could have a look at http://www.alexfedotov.com/articles/killproc.asp to see how this could be done...
