kanish, Did you Super Search this? It has been covered before. Check out Kill running programs and How to kill a windows process by command name?. Hope this helps. Martin	[reply]

Simplest solution might be to check out taskkill.exe (C:\WINDOWS\system32\taskkill.exe). It got bunch of options. taskkill /IM winword.exe	[reply]
