Far more efective END TASK wanted to Msoft task manager..what to use ?

Hi,

WinXP SP3

Windows Task Manager is absolutely useless at end tasking a prog that says Not Responding, one selects the prog, clicks end task and End Now then nothing happens, drives me nuts.

I want that prog to die, there and then !, I get caught in a loop of end now select prog again, end task, end now, select prog again....etc .

What is there that will nuke that prog ?

Hey DBenz, when that happens to me, I just go to Task Manager-Processes and right click on the programs exe process (example: Ccleaner.exe) and click End Process.

 

Maybe one of these two:

• Tweaking.com - Kill Frozen Programs - MajorGeeks
• @Kill - MajorGeeks

I've never tried either one so can't say how well they work.

 

Many thanks ,

Two methods I could try, I like the idea of the keyboard two keys combo I hit and its sorted, will Kill Frozen Progs work with XP and Win 7 ? I can't find a specs etc site or any site for it except at Major Geeks. and there is no data on this.

Says it will. I've never had occasion to try either of them, so can't say from personal experience.

On the Major Geeks download page below the program title is listed:
