To end a process with Task Manager

1. Click the Processes tab, and then click the process that you want to end.
2. Click End Process.

Important

• Be careful when ending a process. If you end an application, you will lose unsaved data. If you end a system service, some part of the system may not function properly.

Note

• You can end a process plus all processes directly or indirectly created by it.

  On the Process tab, right-click the process you want to end, and then click End Process Tree.

  For example, if you end the process tree for an e-mail program such as Outlook98, you will also end related processes such as mapisp32.exe, the MAPI spooler.
