    So i wanted a right click commannd line specifically designed for executing the end process command. I was planning on using it with the toolbar. So the when right clicking on an icon it'll show all trhe normal options plus an end process command to force close programs. It is for windows 10.

    I've tried the second one and the other thing doesn't look like it'll be much more useful. I need it so that the end process command can be used with a right click whenever right clicking on on icons on taskbar. Essentially it should function similarly to a command like pin to taskbar and such where it ends the program you right clicked on. It's not at all about programs not responding it's just about having the power of a right end process command from task manager to be more readily available. Essentially its an easy to use end process affect only the program that the icon represents.

    To be more clear this is what i want. Whenever i right click on an icon in the task bar and the list of options like pin to task bar appear I want end process to be one of those options.

    Why can't you just click Close window?

    Some programs like steam for example don't close out entirely when exiting out of them and simply choosing to go into the background, in which case and end process command is it is necessary to use an end process command to completely shut such programs down. It also would help with other instance of close window not responding like when the program stops responding, or is waiting on some kind of response.

    Essentially it's more general purpose and would free upon an icon slot on the taskbar which is where i pinned the task manager.

    Not sure really it doesn't really say much about that extra command. All i want is just to have end process command normally found in task manager to be available via a right click on an icon. While we're at it why not a run command for when right clicking on an empty space on the taskbar to. Give more power to the right click and all.

    I know that it´s not exactly you are asking... but in my case, to kill calc.exe, I created a simple vbscript (using notepad and rename to something like end_calc.vbs):

    Dim oShell : Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
    oShell.Run "taskkill /im notepad.exe", , True

    Then, I created a shorcut for this script on DESKTOP (for some reason it does not work outside DESKTOP or START MENU) and associate to CTRL+ALT+X. So everytime that I need to close this aplication I just use the shortcut CTRL+ALT+X.

    I am lost now...
    Did you even download that program? If you did, you write a batch file like taskkill steam, etc save it as a batch file. Run Jumplist Extender, start a new jumplist, select Steam,name your list "Kill Steam" then go to the Jumplist Tab, select Action: Run A Command Line & select the batch file you wrote. Then next time it is running right click it on the taskbar and select "Kill Steam"
    Hows that not what you asked for?
    My example I just showed how to add something (your username to a jumplist), is it to complicated?


    There are tons of right click programs, you dont need to be on the taskbar for..

    it's not what i asked for because what your giving me is a means to kill only certain programs. what i want is for the end process command already in windows task manager to be right click accessible when right clicking on taskbar icons. your method of doing it means i'd have to make a batch file for every program on my computer from the information you've given me. The process i want to use is already on my computer but can only be used by task manager. I want to extend it to where i can use it by right clicking on icons on the taskbar. What i'm trying to accomplish wouldn't require a program that isn't included in windows os. What i'm trying to accomplish is route an already existing command "end process" normally only usable with task manager in the process tab to be useable through right clicking icons on the taskbar and have the same effect as if i were using task manager to end the process.

    That looks about right, but does the process manager start up automatically or does it require a manual start every time i turn on my computer? If it requires a manual start up then i'd rather add the end task command to the right click by modifying the registry. Also one of the main reason why i'm doing this is to free up a spot on the task bar as well so if process manager isn't a background process more reason why not to. It's also why super f4 didn't appeal to me it wasn't an automatic start and took up a taskbar slot. Not to mention it didn't help much. I'm not going to remember to start it up especially in the mornings.

    Yes it does. You can't just add commands to the built-in features of Windows. That's why there are hundreds of utility programs that 'improve' Windows.
    The program suggested by Imandy Mann isn't perfect, but it's as close as you'll get... unless you write a program to do exactly what you want.
    It does. And it uses up to 30 MB RAM in Windows 7. Also, you have to right-click the PMW icon in the Notification Area to kill a process, or all processes, and it doesn't work with all programs.
    Give it a try and post your feedback.

    Here's a small easy one. It's old but works great in 8.1. Takes up less space than the speaker icon. You can turn off confirmations and it kills as soon as you click. I'm glad you brought up the topic because I really like this one. Thanks!

    Wasn't trying to make a new command i was trying more to make a shortcut to an already existing one.

    All you do is put a shortcut in the Startup folder, or if it not too much work use NSSM and make it a service.

    I used Jumplist Extender as recommended by foogoo and created a task to end a process.
