Kill.exe for WinXP

[Yu Wang]

We got a strange problem with kill.exe utility with WinXP.
We copied Kill.exe to local XP machines and used "kill.exe
notepad.exe" on some of our XP machines, it worked.
However, the command does not work on some our other XP
machines. Already proved that there were no path problem.
Anyone have met this problem before and know the answer?
What setting the utility needs? Thanks in advance.

I assume that KILL.EXE kills running processes?
If that's the case, you may want to look into TASKKILL.EXE, which comes with
Windows XP.

TASKKILL.EXE, used with TASKLIST.EXE to get the image name or PID of a
running process, is a great utility to kill processes on a local or remote
machine.
