How To Force Stop "not Responding" Programs In Windows Xp, Windows Vista And Windows

Unresponsive programs in Windows quoting the dreadful message "Not Responding" are a common if you are a Windows user. These programs simply don’t listen to your commands and even refuse to close. They irritatingly waste your time and stay on the screen until they close which normally takes a long time.

Sometimes these frozen programs force you to open the Task Manager, detect the appropriate process and then end the process manually from there as they do not close on their own. This can be a horrible experience especially if you a Windows Vista user. Thankfully, there is an easier way out to close these frozen programs! Here’s how you do it.

1) Right click on your Desktop and click New>Shortcut.

2) Copy the following location: taskkill.exe /f /fi “status eq not responding” on to the text box in the window that opens.

3) That’s it. You are now done! From now on, anytime some program displays "Not Responding", just clicking on the shortcut will automatically detect and terminate the unresponsive program.
