Automate End Task at Shutdowm of Windows XPSP2

[BP]

The is a program I use from time to time that doesn't seem to completely
close. Even after closing it when I shut down the computer I get the dialog
about ending the task, etc. I'd like to do the equivalent of automatically
pressing the end task button. Is there a registry entry or other program
that will do this for me?

I'm using XP with SP2.

Can you predict the result of next Test, David? :-)

BTW, rule-out McGrath for next ones ;-)

Warne gets world record.

India is on dangerous grounds. They have always been secure at home but =
if the Australians get the ascendency they will go for the kill (think =
South Africa - no matter how good they are they will lose to Australia - =
in cricket anyway).

But someone should tell the groundman to talk to the batsmen before =
doctoring pitches. No point in taking wickets if you don't score runs.

That's for sure. Can't forget the drop catch by Gibbs (from S.Waugh) and
Donald's run-out in two different matches, which were the turning points in
the '99 W.Cup.
