Close the associated program.
I'm not trying to be a smarta** - that's the safe way to close a process.
Ending the process through Task Manager is like using a gun to turn off your
car's engine: It works, but it can cause damage.

P.S. You couldn't find more newsgroups to crosspost to?

If you mean to shut down a Process correctly - well that would be to close
it in the application either by choosing File>exit or the X button. But if
this is not available and task manager is used then 'windows' effectively
calls time on the process which you are trying to close - If that program
has been carefully written then it will shutdown properly - if not windows
nukes it ( you can change the timeout for this nuke - less time = less time
for the process to close correctly, so be careful)- ... If a file is open
then handles may be left hanging and will cause damage to files - you may
not be able to open the file also (until you restart0. SO consider which
process you are trying to close - do regular saves etc. One other thing -
closing a process via task manager could possibly cause damage to the actual
program file (such as excel.exe (or whatever it is)) - and a repair could be
needed.

Just want to know if restarting the computer by "Ctrl + Restart" from "task
manager" in XP does any harm or not? Why is it faster than the normal
restarting?

Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Delete Quickly reboots NT4SP4 and later systems. Does not appear to work on XP.
Note:A registry key needs to be set to enable this key sequence.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
EnableQuickReboot=1 as a RegSZ (a string).
Maybe Ctrl + Restart is the same as above.

Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4 (SP4) includes a feature that you can use to reboot the computer quickly by pressing SHIFT+CTRL+ALT+DELETE.
MORE INFORMATION
WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
