 +====== Kill_Process() ======
 +
 +The Kill_Process() function kills all running processes matching the specified filename.
 +
 +===== Syntax =====
 +
 +<code>Kill_Process(filename)</code>
 +
 +===== Arguments =====
 +
 +^ Argument ^ Required ^ Description ^
 +| //filename// | Yes | The filename of the process(es) you want to kill. If //filename// contains a backslash character ( //\// ) then it is expected to be a full absolute path\filename (e.g. c:\windows\notepad.exe).  Any [[..:environment_variables|script environment variables]] found in //filename// will be replaced by their actual values when the script is executed. |
 +\\ 
 +
 +===== Examples =====
 +
 +<code>
 +Kill_Process(notepad.exe)
 +</code>
 +This kills any running process who's path-less filename is "notepad.exe"
 +
 +<code>
 +Kill_Process(c:\windows\notepad.exe)
 +</code>
 +This kills any running process who's absolute full path\filename is "c:\windows\notepad.exe"
 +
 +<code>
 +Kill_Process(%dbpath%\Joy2Key\JoyToKey.exe)
 +</code>
 +This kills the running process JoyToKey.exe if it was started from "%dbpath%\Joy2Key\"
 +
 +===== Remarks =====
 +
 +  * Use this function with care:  It will immediately and relentlessly TERMINATE all matching running processes, so be careful what you pass this function as an argument!
 +  * This function is Windows XP/Vista/7 only. It does not support 9x. It also has not been tested on 64-bit versions.
