End Process (CTRL+ALT+DEL)

Hey everyone. Still working on my program, but I'm curious if there's a way to end a process the same way as the task manager would. When you sign off AOL it does these unnecessary updates that do nothing but waste time. The only wait to avoid this when signing off is by opening the task manager and ending the process.

Does anyone know how to do this? Thank you very much (as always!) :)

Can't you just simply turn off the updates? Shutting down an application while it does some background jobs, is not a good idea imho.
