Show System

This application lists the active windows on your Windows NT system. It can kill processes in two ways: nicely, using a close window message, or abruptly, using TerminateProcess.

Copyright


Kill Abruptly

Kill the selected process abruptly. This uses TerminateProcess to stop the process.


Kill Nicely

Kill the process nicely. This sends a close message to the window.


Refresh

Refresh the list of windows/processes/threads.


Close

Exit the Show System application.


Close Window message

This is the standard windows message WM_CLOSE.


TerminateProcess

This is a Win32 call that terminates a process.

WARNING!!!

This unconditionally causes a process to exit. Use only in extreme circumstances. The state of global data in DLL's may be compromised.
