you can also use the “taskkill /f /im [process name] /t” syntax or the “taskkill /f /pid [process id] /t” syntax.

I would instead recommend the built in “taskkill” command in Windows to kill a process to avoid any third party software. And if you need to print out a list of all of the current processes, you can use “tasklist”.

How do I kill a process that is running under the system account?
I have two instances of msiexec running under system account as soon as I start my windows 2003 server.

I would recommend a more elegant solution called Process Tamer by DonationCoder.com It does the same things but in a more user friendly way with a GUI. The software developer doesn’t charge for the software but does ask for a donation — which is justified, in my opinion.
