note: taskkill.exe is only present in XP Pro and Svr2k3.

If you have XP home or win2k, you need pskill.

If you use win9x series, then you need the resource kit (to do something like taskkill).

PV.EXE that is installed with PrcView is a command line task killer that works nicely in batch files. The file PV.TXT gives all the details on usage.
