Depends on the OS you're using.. if you're using winXP, you can use taskkill to kill any process.... for example, to kill calc.exe,

"taskkill /F /IM calc.exe"

"taskkill /?" - if you need more infor on what the F and IM stand for

if you're using an older OS like windows98, you'll have to download a resource from the microsoft website that includes "kill.exe" which will do the same thing as taskkill
