Tired of your applications locking up, and having to open up task manager and kill them? You can make a quick-kill shortcut that will just whack any application that isn’t responding. Make a new shortcut with this path:
taskkill.exe /f /fi "status eq not responding"
non-geek here… Where do I find “Create a Shortcut” to enter your command?
Not sure about vista and Win 7, but on XP, simply right-click on your desktop -> select new -> select shortcut.
To create a shortcut: Right click any open space on your desktop, select ‘shortcut’ on the resulting menu, type in (or copy/paste) the desired location. Re-name the icon on desktop.
Right click on My Computer
Right-click on your desktop, choose “New”, then choose “Shortcut”. Type the shortcut path there.
