The hassle of your freezing computer system when one of your opened programs stops responding *grrrr..* yeah I know how you feel.
If your lucky enough to pull up the non responding window; you start by mashing your "Left Mouse Button" on the "Red X" icon on the said open window, then it doesn't work so you use the infamous shortcut "Alt + F4" or "Ctrl + W" which unfortunately doesn't respond as designed, an alternative keyboard shortcut for closing an open window "Alt + Space + C" also doesn't work, "right clicking" the application from the "Taskbar" and selecting "Close" also comes with no results so finally you decided to do "Ctrl + Alt + Delete" to open the "Task Manager" and "End the Task" from the "Applications" tab or "End the Process" under the "Processes" tab respectively. If all the said steps are getting you nowhere, before you restart your computer you can just try killing the task using the command "Tskill" by going to the "Start Menu" select "Run" and input "tskill iexplore" without the quotes of course then it should end your non-responding "Internet Explorer" for example. You need to know the "tech name" *that's what I think they call it* of the program you will be "killing". Such as "mspaint" for Paint, "msword" for Microsoft Word, "excel" for Microsoft Excel "outlook" for Microsoft Outlook (2003, 2007, Outlook Express, Windows Mail - *it doesn't matter what version as long as it's a Windows email client :p*) and "firefox" for Mozilla Firefox and for the sample "iexplore" for Internet Explorer then bla-bla-etc.. In the contrary, you can open programs using the said "tech names" when you type it on the "Run" box. My favorite procedure would be the killing of the task FTW!! * that's the sole reason why I highlighted it red :p*
PS. Last Resort - "Powercycle" the system.
