Hi Virusim:

If you are using a "Launcher" application to start your programs.....
You COULD command the "Launcher" to find and close a application.
(you do need to know the application name)

Use the APIs

Find the Application handle:
lnHWnd = FindWindow(0, @ProgName)

Force An Application To Close:
=SendMessage(lnHWnd,0X10,0,0)

HTH
