To shutdown any program you can use a small program called "PRCView" from http://www.teamcti.com/pview/prcview.htm Download, unzip the program to a new folder and read on.
Save the .bat file in the PRCView folder and then simply run this .bat file, or set the Windows Scheduler to run the .bat file at a specified time. Running the .bat file will instantly close the program.

You could also try "kill.exe" from the MS resourcekit
