If you are happy to write your own DLL, you can use the tool help API for TlHelp32.pas to determine what applications are running, and then get a window handle for them using EnumWindows, then send a WM_CLOSE to the window handle.
It's a bit of a pain, but it should work:
I have some utility wrapper classes I developed with a friend a while back. Can't remember if we based it on someone else's code.
TWindows.ProcessISRunning and TWindows.StopProcess may help.
