Once again I had to notice that the "End process" button in TaskManager does often NOT kill a
running program immediately. This happens only after e.g. 5-10 minutes.

This is inacceptable. It seems to me that this "End process" depends from the
Will for cooperation of the program to kill.

Is there a better kill utility?

Task Manager always works instantly for me.
Regards Mike.

Try this:

1. Click Start - Run
2. Type

taskkill.exe /f /im [Task Name]

E.g.

taskkill.exe /f /im notepad.exe

Hope this help, let us know!
