Your question over on StackOverflow for the exact same thing was closed because it has nothing to do with writing code.

The same is true here, even though you tried to disguise it as a VBScript question.

You can make background app, and do something like this on the background app

Close another app

using (Process process = Process.Start("resmon.exe")) {

       // Wait for 5 seconds and terminate the process.
       Console.WriteLine("Waiting 1 seconds before terminating" +
           " .exe.");
       Thread.Sleep(1000);

       // Terminate process.
       Console.WriteLine("Terminating with CloseMainWindow.");


  if(process != null)
       // Try to send a close message to the main window.
       if (!process.CloseMainWindow()) {

           // Close message did not get sent - Kill.
           Console.WriteLine("CloseMainWindow returned false - " +
               " terminating with Kill.");
           process.Kill();

       } else {

           // Close message sent successfully; wait for 2 seconds
           // for termination confirmation before resorting to Kill.
           if (!process.WaitForExit(2000)) {

               Console.WriteLine("CloseMainWindow failed to" +
                   " terminate - terminating with Kill.");
               process.Kill();
           }
       }
   }
