[RESOLVED] [02/03] Kill a Process in Memory

[hyousuf2]

how do i Kill a running process in Memory, which maybe or may not be visible in Task Manager.

To kill all Notepad instances for example...

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("Notepad.exe")
Dim oProcess As Process
For Each oProcess In System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("NOTEPAD")
    oProcess.Kill()
Next

Well quite right... but this supposedly will kill only the Process which i have started, i want to get a list of Process currently residing in the memory and then kill a few particular ones from them. Is it possible ?

[RobDog888]

Dim oProcess As Process
For Each oProcess In System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcesses()
    If oProcess.ProcessName.ToString = "YourDesiredExe" Then
        oProcess.Kill()
    End If
Next

My previous code will get the process you desire and does not have to be created by you or your code.
