Answer 1

Given that you say you always possess administrative privileges when you attempt to call this method, the following would explain why you have intermittent issues:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Kill:

If the call to the Kill method is made while the process is currently terminating, a Win32Exception is thrown for Access Denied.

If you've quickly hit 'delete' + 'OK' twice, on an entry in Process-Explorer, you'll know what I'm talking about.
