SHALLOW HACKER ㋡

Doh, once again I haven't posted anything for far too long. Well, this is just a quick reminder of my custom Google downloads search engine, google4life.tk . You can either go to http://google4life.tk/ or just use the search box on the right-hand side of this blog :) The search engine is good for finding direct downloads (i.e. zip files, mp3s, and stuff) and also lets you search for serials (for registering software) and torrents (for, er, bittorrent).

I was looking for a way to kill running tasks from the command line in XP when I came across information about the command line utility taskkill.exe . This does the trick but isn't available in XP Home. It will work with XP Home however. I found an unofficial link to  taskkill.exe here . Alternatively you might want to check out another officially downloadable Microsoft utility called  PsKill . PsKill will do the same job as taskkill.exe. At the following link you'll find a description of PsKill and a download link for the PsTools suite that contains PsKill .  http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896683.aspx [ thanks for the tip Anonymous ;-) ] If you're still determined to proceed with  taskkill.exe,  Here is Microsoft's documentation on taskkill.exe  and here are some usage examples from Computerhope .
