Hi all,

How do you force close a program in Windows 7 without restarting the 
computer?

Sometimes programs hang, and I can't get them to close. This happens 
with a certain degree of regularity to firefox, but it occasionally 
happens with other programs as well. I'd like to force them to close, 
but I don't know how.

I've tried alt+F4, and I've tried finding the program in the taskbar, 
pressing right-Windows, and pressing enter on Close, but neither works. 
I have a vague memory of having found a Force Close option somewhere at 
some point, but I don't remember where.

Any thoughts?

Ciao
