Question

I try to kill all processes of a specified user.

i use

       Try         Shell('C:\WINDOWS\system32\taskkill.exe /S localhost /U userx /P passwort /f /FI ' & Chr(34) & 'USERNAME eq userx' & Chr(34))     Catch ex As Exception         MessageBox.Show('LogoutException occurred. ' + ex.Message)     End Try 

But Nothing happened. If i try to use this taskkill….. command by console it works fine. one of the apps that should be closed is the explorer.exe. All apps`s From the user must be closed.

I inserted /u /p because the application it self runs under a different user.

has anyone an idea how i could kill truely all proccesses from that 1 user?

EDIT: i forget a little information, The application is started by a user with user-rights. thats the reason i use taskkill – there i can enter a different user with administrativ privilegs. So the second Problem is that i can`t use process.kill directly.

thx a lot for help.

foreach (Process p in Process.GetProcesses()) {     if (String.Equals(p.ProcessName, name))     {         p.Kill();     } } 

or

Process.GetProcesses() .Where(p => String.Equals(p.ProcessName, name)) .First() .Kill(); // kills only first 

or

Process.GetProcesses() .Where(p => String.Equals(p.ProcessName, name)) .ToList() .ForEach(p => p.Kill()); // kills all
