| Be aware that if the process you are attempting to kill is a system
| process (not running in your current session) or is otherwise
| protected, the script will need to run "as administrator" in order for
| it to succeed.
|
| This can be accomplished by executing the script from a
| "run-as-administratored" command prompt, or by specifying in task
| scheduler that you want the command line to run with highest
| privilege.
