Here's a great read written by one of my favorite tech writers, Gina Tripani (formerly of Lifehacker). I'll have to check some of these out (can't at work, silly tech geeks disallow any and all gmail.com and mail.google.com domains...) - LATER!

If you've EVER used any version of Windows (heck, any computer OS), you'll know that once in a while, you'll get the "not responding" message. Here's how to kill a program without invoking the Task Manager:

• Right click on the desktop and choose New > Shortcut



• In the dialog box that appears just type the following:
  

  taskkill.exe /f /fi “status eq not responding”
  

  

  
  
• Give it a name of your choice



• Now just wait for something to start “Not Responding” and let loose your Task Killer!
