Hey Hugo, I've been reading through this thread because I need a way to kill a running EXE from within another EXE. I can't quite find where the solution is, even though this message was marked as such. Is there a full code block in here somewhere that shows how you do this? Also, it assumes I know the processID, but I'm not sure how to get that. Looking that up now, but wanted to get the message posted in case you are awake and bored... <g>
