How can I kill or terminate inmediatly a process that is running and appears in the Microsoft task bar using Delphi 5.

Thanks a lot in advanced for your help

You will have better luck with your question in the nativeapi newsgroup
where the Windows API wizards congregate.

KillProcess(FindWindow('notepad',nil));
