I have an application running in the background that I need to kill from
inside a Visual Basic application.  The application I want to kill has no
window on screen, nor does it have a button on the taskbar, therefore,
FindWindow will not return the hWnd of the application.

The application, however, DOES have an icon on the system tray, and a process
listed in the CTRL-ALT-DEL end task dialog.  

Is there any way I can terminate this application from inside a VB app?

Hi craig...the solution for this is the dll i have wriiten and the source
code will be on the web on my site this weekend, i still have to upload, it
will fire event and also give the processid  for each task found in the
background, you can then kill processid.

my site : www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Peaks/8469

The code will be uploaded on the week end.

hope this helps.
bye.
