[AccessD] OT: Alternative to NT TaskManager

Probably not.  It just sends a 'close' message to the window itself.  If the
thread is locked up, then it needs to be shut down hard.  There is a
TerminateProcess API, but I don't know off hand how to get the handle to an
external process.

Thanks for the code...its steps through fine...finds the window...I get no 
error...but it doesn't do anything to it?  Am I missing a part?

Thanks,

Mark
