How do you close a running process in a command line.

I want to write a batch file that closes all my internet explorer browsers, then clears all the cookie data.

So, I tried net stop iexplore.exe, no go..

the command to clear everything is

RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 4351

but I cannot quite figure out how to kill the ixplore process.

Net stop will not do it.

any help would be much appricated.

taskkill is the command you're looking for

Taskkill is an unreconized internal or external command, operable program, or batch file.

I am using windows XP pro, and windows XP media center.. Yeah I am aware that it sucks.. thank you for the lack of input.

Internet Explorer!? Ok sorry.

Code:
taskkill /IM iexplorer.exe

Don't bother trying to terminate it by its PID because for some reason internet explorer is given a new one each time.

If that doesn't work this might be useful.

Its too bad Windows doesn't have anything as intuitive as xkill.

FYI best way to clear your tracks is with PortableFirefox or if you are serious about leaving no trace, a live-cd linux distro such as Knoppix, just saying.

you want to kill that process? or kill service.. or command that is running continiously?
