I also found the following tips to work really well with killing programs, since Windows XP usually pussyfoots all around it like OK YOU REALLY HAVE TO CLOSE NOW GUYS GUYS I MEAN IT GUYS STOP IT CLOSE CMON GUYS THIS ISN'T FUNNY CLOSE OK LOOK YOU HAVE TWO SECONDS ONE TWO CMON GOD DAMNIT GUYS

So here's what you can do!

go to start->run and type in regedit
expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER
expand Control Panel
Expand Desktop

Set 'AutoEndTasks' to 1
Lower 'HungAppTimeout' to 1000 (this is in milliseconds, I think the default is 5000)
Lower MenuShowDelay to 100
Lower WaitToKillAppTimeout to 2000

and then windows won't fuck around with killing processes, especially if you close them as processes and not as programs. This will also cause windows to hit the fuckin' flo' when you restart as opposed to taking 20 days to do that. So just make sure your shit is saved before you reboot instead of being an idiot.

YEAH.
