I have found code that will Terminate a Process by EXE name in the API section of the Forum, but it doesn't work for NT (There is no CreateToolhelpSnapshot in NT). Does anyone know a code that will work in NT or the work around for the code I have:

Private Declare Function ProcessFirst _
Lib "kernel32" Alias "Process32First" (ByVal hSnapshot _
As Long, uProcess As PROCESSENTRY32) As Long

Private Declare Function ProcessNext Lib "kernel32" _
Alias "Process32Next" (ByVal hSnapshot As Long, _
uProcess As PROCESSENTRY32) As Long

Private Declare Function CreateToolhelpSnapshot _
Lib "kernel32" Alias "CreateToolhelp32Snapshot" (ByVal _
lFlags As Long, lProcessID As Long) As Long

Private Declare Function CloseHandle Lib "kernel32" _
(ByVal hObject As Long) As Long

Private Declare Function OpenProcess Lib "kernel32" _
(ByVal dwDesiredAccess As Long, ByVal bInheritHandle _
As Long, ByVal dwProcessId As Long) As Long

Private Declare Function TerminateProcess _
Lib "kernel32" (ByVal hProcess As Long, ByVal _
uExitCode As Long) As Long


Private Type PROCESSENTRY32
dwSize As Long
cntUsage As Long
th32ProcessID As Long
th32DefaultHeapID As Long
th32ModuleID As Long
cntThreads As Long
th32ParentProcessID As Long
pcPriClassBase As Long
dwFlags As Long
szexeFile As String * MAX_PATH
End Type


Private Const MAX_PATH = 260


Private Function KillApp(myName As String) As Boolean
Const PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS = 0
Dim uProcess As PROCESSENTRY32
Dim rProcessFound As Long
Dim hSnapshot As Long
Dim szExename As String
Dim exitCode As Long
Dim myProcess As Long
Dim AppKill As Boolean
Dim appCount As Integer
Dim i As Integer
On Local Error GoTo Finish
appCount = 0

Const TH32CS_SNAPPROCESS As Long = 2&

uProcess.dwSize = Len(uProcess)
hSnapshot = CreateToolhelpSnapshot(TH32CS_SNAPPROCESS, 0&)
rProcessFound = ProcessFirst(hSnapshot, uProcess)

Do While rProcessFound
i = InStr(1, uProcess.szexeFile, Chr(0))
szExename = LCase$(Left$(uProcess.szexeFile, i - 1))
If Right$(szExename, Len(myName)) = LCase$(myName) Then
KillApp = True
appCount = appCount + 1
myProcess = OpenProcess(PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS, False, uProcess.th32ProcessID)
AppKill = TerminateProcess(myProcess, exitCode)
Call CloseHandle(myProcess)
End If
rProcessFound = ProcessNext(hSnapshot, uProcess)
Loop

Call CloseHandle(hSnapshot)
Finish:
End Function
