Windows hidden “taskkill”-er

There comes a time… okay let me start that again. There are multiple times, almost every stinking hour, when on a windows machine when some program locks up and the task manager doesn’t seem to do what it is made to do… END TASKS.

Do not fret though my fellow windows zombies, there is a tool that windows has added that is very secret. I have no clue why it is secret, cuz everyone should know this. Maybe its not a secret, but more of just not talked about, but anyways its called “taskkiller”.

The consecpt is easy enough, good into taskmanager, find the name of the task that won’t quit, and write it down. Then open up Notepad and type something like this

@echo off
taskkill/im NAMEOFTASK.exe /f

and save as a .bat (Batch file)
In place of the NAMEOFTASK type in what you wrote down earlier, and run the batch file, and ta da! Instant end of the task.

Hopes this helps some of you techs out there that have been emailing me ;)

P.S. Incase you are wondering a breakdown of the code to get the meaning, here it is.

taskkill= the .exe that runs to kill the task
/im= the image name of the task to be killed
/f= to force the kill
