    Something from Process Utilities would work - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb795533.aspx

    I've scripted a batch file with Pskill to do something similar before

    If a process can't be killed in Process manager, use "kill" from the NT Resource Kit (or similar kit for versions of Windows you have). search on Microsoft.com

    pskill and procexp will kill apps both system internals tools on microsofts site

    hotkey ? ctrl-esc should bring up taskmanger
    or setup a shortcut on the desktop to the terminate app and add a hotkey to it in the link properties
