\nBy now, all of you ( & yours truly ) using windows must have encountered the situation, when you press your favorite savior Ctrl + Alt + Del, and your "Task Manager" doesn't pops up and you are in hell…\n<\/p>\n
\nSometimes, scanning registry fixes it, if poor virus has just disabled TM through reg key hack, but what if you don't want to hack reg\/ probably you don't know the hive in which TM keys are set.\n<\/p>\n
\nThere is a simple way to do this, Kill the poor TM, before it has a chance to help its poor user (and you are the murderer). The .NET base class provides a very easy way to do this (And me and you thought .NET is like angel Java, meant to do only good things), here it is:\n<\/p>\n
\nuse the static Process class defined in .NET namespace System.Diagnostics<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n \nusing System; \n [STAThread] <\/p>\n \n\t\/\/ We are defining here our targets, which we will kill, if present | Hell yeah! its a bloody game…<\/font> \n \n Assignment : use this implementation to do something useful, non-annoying (really useful), by the way, I have already done one <\/strong><\/p>\n \nfinal word to my close friends:<\/strong> Don't even think of using it against me, I already have my own defenders and weaponery\n<\/p>\n \n \n<\/p>\n
