Hello guys.

I have a problem.

I wrote a service, running in user mode. ( on Windows XP ).
This service is communicating with another service I wrote, who is
running in kernel mode. ( a driver.. ).
When the user is trying to close the user - mode service, the last is
informing the driver to delete all the devices he is incharge of.

so far, so good
---------------

The problem starts when one of the devices is busy and cannot be
dismounted..

I need to find a way to inform the scm that the service cannot be
stopped,
Prevanting blue screen later on..
Thx for help,
Elior
