    How to kill IMMEDIATELY (!) a certain prgm but not from TaskManager?


    Assume I want to kill a certain process resp. program IMMEDIATELY.

    I could do it in built-in TaskManager by right clicking there and select "End process" from context menu.
    But this need too much clicks and concentration.

    What I would prefer is a cmdline command which can be put into a batch file on the desktop and which in turn can be double clicked on demand.

    something like:

    kill "firefox.exe"

    Is there such a tool/cmd available?

    Kill Processes From The Command Prompt In Windows 7

    So something like: taskkill /f /im "firefox.exe"
    Try without /f first. /f means "force".
    Is that what you want?

    You could do what Kaktussoft suggested with a batch file and a shortcut.
