You know you can just go to the control panel and end it im sure...The command below is only for Winxp Pro it wont work in the home edition.. But you must save this as a .cmd file instead of a .bat.. here is the script.
If you want this to work in home you have to get the taskill.exe from a Pro computer. As far as I know there is no .bat file that will do this in windows.

Or am misreading/misunderstanding the query?
