killing applications remotely

[pauldepstein]

At work, we have a Windows XP system and I'm logging in remotely with
a Windows laptop. I ran an XL program from a Citrix server and the
program crashed.

I find I am now completely unable to kill this XL application.


When I use the Citrix server menu to view the active sessions, it
doesn't seem to acknowledge that the XL is active.


Loggin off and on, disconnecting, rebooting don't work because the
application is still there as soon as I log back in.


The task manager points only to "remote desktop connection" so that
doesn't help.


One idea is to try and kill the application with a dos command but I
don't know how to do that.


I would be very grateful if anyone could help me with this problem
which I am finding quite frustrating.


I can also be reached in person via pauldepstein at yahoo dot com


I know that there is a citrix server newsgroup for such questions but
it appears to be extremely inactive.

This issue of unwanted applications automatically opening each time I
log on might be a problem in the area of windows registry (I seem to
recall). If this seems to be the case, could someone help me find out
what I need to know about windows registry so it doesn't return to the
hanging application each time.

Thank you very much for your help,

taskkill.exe command.

Example :
TaskKill /F /IM xl.exe


Good Luck, Ayush.

Thanks, this worked perfectly!

For the sake of future readers who may turn to this posting, I'd like
to point out that the name of the process is excel.exe I don't
believe using xl.exe would have worked.
