What tool can I use to definitely kill a process on Windows?
- by Moak
Can anyone recommend an application (preferably usb-portable that doesn't require setup)
That really kills a process immediately in windows XP?
I ask this because often when I need to use the XP task manager it seems to want to go about it "the polite way" and sometimes crashed programs don't quit or take a minute to shut down.
I need a real stone cold killer, not a pushover-could-you-please-quit-now-no?-ok-sorry-program
Edit I'm sorry if it wasn't clear previously but I did mean the situation when even the "End process" command in Process tab of the task manager doesn't kill a program, however one of the answers did point me to the "End Process Tree" command which I've never noticed (when right clicking on the process)
