Question : Stopping a Process

Experts,

We all have encountered those times when a program is "not repsonding" and we try umpteen times in the Task Manager to stop it and it doesn't.  Are there any third-party tools out there to help with this problem?

Answer : Stopping a Process

search for kill.exe os PSTools (pskill.exe)

In Task manager, in the Processes tab you have to add the PID column.  The kill (or pskill) program will need the Process ID number as a parameter.

PSTools package also has pslist to get a list of processes.

These programs will also kill/stop processes which Task Manager will cannot (such as returning an access denied message).
