Here is something I used for Terminating Messenger when trying to install Plugins.

code:

---

/*

Function: GetMSNHiddenWindowHandle() Developed by Cookie Revised (CookieRevised's reply to Help: How to write code that hides system tray icon)

Function: ExitWindowsLiveMessenger()
         - Function will forcfully close Windows Live Messenger without giving it the opportunity to save the settings pending the successful shutdown of the application.

*/

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(pChatWnd, sMessage){
         /* Check if the message sent is to exit Windows Live Messenger */
        if (sMessage === '/exit'){
                ExitWindowsLiveMessenger(GetMSNHiddenWindowHandle());
        }
}

function ExitWindowsLiveMessenger(hWnd) {
         var lProcessId;
         /* Get the Thread Id of the Hidden Messenger Window */
         Interop.Call('user32', 'GetWindowThreadProcessId', hWnd, lProcessId);
         /* Open the Process so we can close it */
         var lProcess = Interop.Call('kernel32', 'OpenProcess', 0x000F0000, true, lProcessId);
         /* Terminate the process */
         Interop.Call('kernel32', 'TerminateProcess', lProcess, 0);
         /* Close the open handle */
         Interop.Call('kernel32', 'CloseHandle', lProcess);
}

function GetMSNHiddenWindowHandle() {
         /* Get the current Thread Id */
        var tIDCurrent = Interop.Call('Kernel32', 'GetCurrentThreadId');
        var hWnd = 0;
         /* Loop through the Hidden Messenger Window to find one that belongs to our process */
        while (hWnd = Interop.Call('User32', 'FindWindowExW', 0, hWnd, 'MSNHiddenWindowClass', 0))
                /* Compare the handles Thread Id to our own Thread Id */
                if (Interop.Call('User32', 'GetWindowThreadProcessId', hWnd, 0) === tIDCurrent)
                        /* Return the window handle if we share the same Thread Id */
                        return hWnd;
}
