Reply: hahaha.. stuart, you're kidding aren't you? LOL well, i never heard that you can stop a running program in Windows from DOS. I only knew that you can stop a running program executed by DOS itself. by Ctrl+C

Reply: As the original poster said DOS or a Command prompt and he did mention a task manager as a process or programme and seeing that XP has no DOS and the only way to run a DOS programme is via Windows, Ctrl-ALt-Del is the way to do it. Ctrl-C would apply if running in pure MS-DOS mode but seeing how the concepts of processes and tasks does not apply to MS-DOS, Ctrl C has no relevance in this instance. Stuart
