Any way to kill a program

[t3hmuffinman]

so... having some problems with programs, and I was wondering if there was another way to shutdown a program without task manager... i've been having to restart every time

I used to ude a freeware utility called enditall. It worked well under Win98, but I have not tried it under Win XP or 2k. Also, I find that it works better to kill the process rather than the application with the task manager.

I also used EnditAll when it was freeware, which it isn't now .

Win2k/Xp/2003?
Then:
do Start->Run
Type:

tskill process

where process is the name of the process you want terminated.
You can also use wildcards for the process name.
e.g.
tskill explor*
should kill explorer and any other process begining w/ explor.


Here's the full syntax:


TSKILL processid | processname [/SERVER:servername] [/ID:sessionid | /A] [/V]

processid Process ID for the process to be terminated.
processname Process name to be terminated.
/SERVER:servername Server containing processID (default is current).
/ID or /A must be specified when using processname
and /SERVER
/ID:sessionid End process running under the specified session.
/A End process running under ALL sessions.
/V Display information about actions being performed.
