you need to have SE_DEBUG_NAME privilege, then get a Handle to the process with OpenProcess() then call TerminateProcess() to kill the process
HANDLE OpenProcess(
DWORD dwDesiredAccess, // access flag
BOOL bInheritHandle, // handle inheritance option
DWORD dwProcessId // process identifier
);
BOOL TerminateProcess(
HANDLE hProcess, // handle to the process
UINT uExitCode // exit code for the process
);

Thanks !
One question more, could you tell me a little bit more about the SE_DEBUG_NAME privilege ?, is a privilige that I set to my process or to other processes or... ?
Thanks a lot, greetings
Braulio

HANDLE hToken;
if (OpenProcessToken(GetCurrentProcess(), TOKEN_ADJUST_PRIVILEGES, &hToken))
{
if (EnablePrivilege(hToken, SE_DEBUG_NAME, TRUE))
{
.....
}
BOOL EnablePrivilege(HANDLE hToken, LPCTSTR szPrivName, BOOL fEnable)
{
TOKEN_PRIVILEGES tp;
tp.PrivilegeCount = 1;
LookupPrivilegeValue(NULL, szPrivName, &tp.Privileges[0].Luid);
tp.Privileges[0].Attributes = fEnable ? SE_PRIVILEGE_ENABLED : 0;
AdjustTokenPrivileges(hToken, FALSE, &tp, sizeof(tp), NULL, NULL);
return((GetLastError() == ERROR_SUCCESS));
}

Usually killing apps is done by posting a WM_CLOSE to their main window. But I guess you want to kill non-responding apps as well.

Hi Nish !
My main goal is to kill non-responding exe's apps ( well EXE com servers).
I need to have a system up and running 24 hours, and some of the exe's com server are not from my own, so if they f***ed up, my idea is to run a "trouble shooter" program that detects if the EXE server exists, if it is so, then it tries to connect if fails ( donno if this is easy to detect, glups !), then kill the EXE, or if I can connect just have a sink interface to now if it´s alive ( it would be like a "ping"), if something fails, kill the EXE...
Maybe I should use some framework for that stuff, but I feel lost with MSMQ and MTS, or the new stuff..., I don´t know if it´s only oriented for use in Web App's or...
Thanks Nish

 what's your program's name? (i'll make sure i never let it near my PC). 
-c

The name of the program is "VirusKiller.exe" XD :-P
I need it, because I will have some com EXE server that can hang, and I have not control over them ( the will be developed by third parties...), so if they crash, I want to detect it, and kill'em, and then restart the EXE server.
he he, but is not a bad idea for a Virus... 
so long

My main goal is to kill non-responding exe's apps ( well EXE com servers).
Then be aware there are occasions you actually can't kill them. :-<
If there's an RPC call (synchronous) that's waiting for a response, the process you want to kill is actually "hanging" inside the kernel and can't be killed. This is one of the resons COM on Windows is hated by some of us: You can't kill a hung process!
Another way to display this would be to (disregarding what the documentation states, the docs lie) create a new file, SetFilePointer to some large value (like 2GB-1), and then SetEndOfFile.
Now do this on a disk that's not using DMA to see how a user-mode process chews away almost all available CPU. Try to kill it using e.g. TaskManager. :-<
But back to your problem: this is depending on what OS you are running under (no one can ever accuse Microsoft of "stable API's" when it comes to this).
If you're using an NT kernel OS you could use the PSAPI to EnumProcesses. Then iterate that set and OpenProcess, then EnumProcessModules and finally GetModuleBaseName to get the name of the process.
If that name fits what you want to kill you then OpenProcess(PROCESS_TERMINATE, FALSE, pid), terminate that process, and finally CloseHandle on the process handle you got from OpenProcess.
Simple, wasn't it. :-/

Thanks for the help !
Then to control possible unstable COM EXE server what could I do ?, Should I for another solution better ?
My idea was to have a tool that would check the COM EXE servers of my system ( If I said any third party could add his owns exe servers... so I could be in trouble).
Then would be a better idea to use something like MTS or MSMQ, or some other big words technologies ? ( I wouldn´t like to say to the user... "please we have f***ed up, restart your system"  ).
Thanks for you help, so long

i am getting a bunch of these warning messages after my OnInitDialog() exits:
First-chance exception in 8028c.exe (KERNEL32.DLL): 0xC0000005: Access Violation.
and i have absolutely no idea why ... i traced it down into the depths of wincore.cpp and its friends but god only knows what they get up to when they're bored ... thing is my app doesn't go squiff even in release mode so i'm a wondering if its something i can ignore or should i be afraid ... very afraid
"... and so i said to him ... if it can't dance and you can't eat it either f**k it or throw it away"

What does your code look like. It sounds like an initialization problem.

Do you have an ActiveX control on your dialog? I get these when I have an in-house ActiveX control in use. I think the windows system is trying to access a default function that is not present or some such. Doesn't seem to affect how my program works.

I found this article in the MSDN:
INFO: First and Second Chance Exception Handling Q105675
It explains what you are seeing. There are many DLLs (and other code) that throw exceptions on purpose to see if things are valid. I have used this technique to check if memory-mapped files have real memory allocated for them. From the article, the debugger sees these exceptions before the application does. It creates a warning before a handler is able to catch the exception. Note that they must be getting handled or your application would crash.
I see them also in most of my applications and they are safe. I have written hundreds of applications and never seen these messages to be a problem.
Hope this helps...

Hi
I have created a SDI application ( with COM server option ) using the new appwizard supplied with the WTL 7.0 toolkit. After adding a ATL simple object, I tried to access the interface from VB 6 to no avail?? Has anyone played around with these options?
The code generated by VS registers the object on the ROT, but using ye old ROT/COM viewer, I cannot see my object registered on the ROT when an instance of my SDI application is running. Any ideas?

My customer in China is having problems with running my program on his computer. He is using Win NT Chinese version, and his symptoms is that the mouse and keyboard does not work.
Below I attached the question from China:
Could you help the Qinghuangdao customer to use their 3710 software? They can't use it as usual. I mean the software always stop the screen, The people find it because they can't use the mouse and key to control the computer. They run the 3710 in Win NT 4.0 Chinese version.
Can anyone tell me if there could be problems when running MFC programs on this version?
Thanks for helping me out

My Windows2K is Chinese version, and I code MFC applications.
Never have such problem... And never happened on my ex-operating systems (WinNT4, Win95, Win98).
And what's 3710 software? I personally think that's because the 3710 software hang ( or crashed ) so the screen got freezed...

I know from personal experience that you can run English (or Chinese, of course...) MFC applications on a Chinese machine. The fonts are different, but otherwise it's likely something else going on.
Do you have a Debug version of the app that you could run on the Chinese system? Perhaps something that can create a log of all its actions? At least then you might be able to see what the problem is.
No generalization is 100% true.
Not even this one.
