Shortcut to kill an application

Shortcut to kill an application Labview (a programming language) has this nasty habit of hanging after an error while executing and our programmer always goes to task manager to manually kill it. Now I think as a Super User he should use something "easier" to do this!

"This might help.

To create your own quick-killing
mechanism, just create a new shortcut
anywhere, using this as the location:

taskkill.exe /f /im labview.exe

Once you are done, you can change the
icon, or even assign a shortcut key in
the properties dialog—just make sure
the shortcut is on your desktop or in
the start menu if you want the hotkey
to work, since Windows hotkeys don't
work in the Quick Launch.
