End Task Application

[Wak]

You know how you can press Alt + Ctrl + Delete, and a list of programs popup that are running. And then how you can select one and end task it, how can I endtask a program that I already know that is running if it is called Choke??

This code works for Win9.x. Doesn't work for WinNT though .

If Right$(szExename, Len(myName)) = LCase$(myName) Then

This line won't evaluate to true... ever

the file is "C:\choke.exe"
The Actaul process is called "choke"

Please Help
