    Code that goes into the FORM (You can find the location of Winamp via VB by using the Winamp Registry settings...):
    Code:
    Private Sub Form_Load()
    ''
    ''
       Call KillApp("C:\Program Files\Winamp\Winamp.exe")
    ''
    ''
    End Sub
    Code that goes into the module:

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

    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
