My question is quite simple: Is there a reliable equivalent of xkill for Windows?

For those who don't know what xkill is: it is a Unix tool which basically kills the process of any windows you click on.

A Windows port can be downloaded from here: http://solo-dev.deviantart.com/art/Windows-xKill-100737525

Windows xkill.

Disclaimer: I got it from google and I haven't tried it.

Update: Process Explorer has a window Finder function. Very useful to locate a window.

PSKILL from the SysInternals suite is very handy. PSLIST and PSINFO are related tools. You can view the entire Sysinternals Live tools directory in a browser at http://live.sysinternals.com. , or download a ZIP file from here.

taskkill /im ProcessName.exe /f

The "f" is for "force".

There is WinKill. Does exactly that and it's free. Rightckick -> Kill to get rid of hidden processes too.
