Actually, it does.
E:\Program Files\mirc\download>taskkill.exe /im editplus.exe
SUCCESS: The process "editplus.exe" with PID 1804 has been terminated.

Hmmm thats the gay cause when I last tried it, it didn't work. Anyways you can do this with the API all you need to know is the handle of the window I will post code for it later.

crappy method to (and the need to) include an external app to kill a task... Use the Windows APIs instead.
