bttnserv.exe provides support for Compaq EasyAccess buttons on their range of multimedia keyboards. Without this service, the additional buttons will cease to function. This is a non-essential process. Disabling or enabling this is down to user preference

I cannot kill this process! Even Process Explorer(from www.sysinternals.com) could not kill it. I cannot delete the file. The key combination "Ctrl-Alt-Delete" is no longer recognised! Hence, I can no longer lock my workstation or logon to a Windows!!!
