Been looking for a way to erminate the explorer task like if you went into the tsk manager and end task on Explorer.

The closest I have found is to destory the Progman task .

Any deas

I found a example n Torrys delphipages (

http://www.swissdelphicenter.ch/torry/showcode.php?id=266).

uses 
  Tlhelp32; 

function KillTask(ExeFileName: string): Integer; 
const 
  PROCESS_TERMINATE = $0001; 
var 
  ContinueLoop: BOOL; 
  FSnapshotHandle: THandle; 
  FProcessEntry32: TProcessEntry32; 
begin 
  Result := 0; 
  FSnapshotHandle := CreateToolhelp32Snapshot(TH32CS_SNAPPROCESS, 0); 
  FProcessEntry32.dwSize := SizeOf(FProcessEntry32); 
  ContinueLoop := Process32First(FSnapshotHandle, FProcessEntry32); 

  while Integer(ContinueLoop) <> 0 do 
  begin 
    if ((UpperCase(ExtractFileName(FProcessEntry32.szExeFile)) = 
      UpperCase(ExeFileName)) or (UpperCase(FProcessEntry32.szExeFile) = 
      UpperCase(ExeFileName))) then 
      Result := Integer(TerminateProcess( 
                        OpenProcess(PROCESS_TERMINATE, 
                                    BOOL(0), 
                                    FProcessEntry32.th32ProcessID), 
                                    0)); 
     ContinueLoop := Process32Next(FSnapshotHandle, FProcessEntry32); 
  end; 
  CloseHandle(FSnapshotHandle); 
end; 

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject); 
begin 
  KillTask('explorer.exe'); 
end;
