Adding to what Ashish wrote, you can use TerminateProcess API to end it.

Hi krishanna,


I knew we can use these API's to kill process

1)EnumProcesses
2)OpenProcess
3)EnumProcessModules
4)GetModuleBaseName
5)TerminateProcess

I am asking, I am opening 3 notepad, i it will create three running notepad.exe, i want to kill second notepad.exe i wont to kill another two notepad.exe( i. e 1st and 3rd ).

using this we can kill all three notepad.exe

So my main question is, How to kill 2nd notepad.exe ?

Well, I cannot see what's the difference between 1st and 2nd Notepads? The time of appearing? Then you run your program in background and register new Notepad appearing. In case it's a third one, you already have PID1 and PID2. You enumerate top windows, find out the one that belongs to PID2 process and post WM_CLOSE to it. After closing the PID3 becomes PID2, and from this moment it is the first candidate for closing.

Easy thing...
