    How to end process tree?

    I'm looking for something like "End process tree" form task manager.
    I start an application using ShellExecuteEx. I have its handle and TerminateProcess works just fine, however aplication starts its own processes which remain. Sending WM_QUIT message doesn't work at all. Question is how can I kill whole process tree?
    I don't care about proper shutwown, so even "brute force" metods will do fine.

    thanks for any help
