WiXKill is a port of a well-known UNIX system maintenance tool. WiXkill will install itself into your system tray area. The icon that will sit there is the main gate for using the application. Whenever you want to quit an application, simply right click the system tray icon and select "Process list". Then, all the running applications and processes will be listed. You will simply need to select a process to terminate, and WiXkill will do it. That's the regular way of doing things. You can also use the WiXkill option. For that, simply right click the icon and select "WiXkill". Then, go to the window that you want to close and it will be highlighted in green. If you click the window, it will be killed and the related processes will be terminated as well. The application works great in closing applications that are unresponsive, but when you lose control over the system tray, WiXKill isn't as useful as it should be. A hotkey approach would have been great, but Windows is so unstable that is hard to tell if even that would work.
