WinKill v1.0 - By James Bray ============================ Introduction ------------ WinKill is a MS Windows equivalent of X-Kill on X-Windows. It allows you to point at a specified window and either close the window or terminate the underlying process. In addition windows and tasks can be killed using the shortcut menu. Requirements ------------ Windows 95/98/NT Basic Functionality ------------------ WinKill allows you to terminate windows and tasks in a number of ways. Firstly a window can be closed by single clicking the system tray icon and then clicking on a window using the cross hair that appears. A window can be killed by double-clicking the system tray icon and then clicking on the window to kill. Tasks and windows to kill can also be killed from a shortcut menu, activated by right clicking on the system tray icon. Hot-keys can be assigned to allow a window or task to killed with a single key-press. Hot-keys are user definable, and set in the Options dialog; activated from the shortcut menu. A command line interface allows multiple WinKill functions to be executed sequentially from the commandline. For more information see the online help.
