Hi

Note that taskkill (and I would think tskill also) does not
come with WinXP Home.

An alternative:

PsKill.exe in the free PsTools suite at http://www.sysinternals.com/

I'm pretty sure tskill is in both HE and Pro while TaskKill is pro only. At
least that's how I remember it. I only used HE for about a week during the
beta.

I do wish there was a list of diffs. someplace though...

Tech TV has a decent article, with a chart. It doesn't include a list of
commands, which is probably what you're asking about, but it's kind of handy
nevertheless.

Hmmm. Note the chart isn't 100% accurate. I use Fast User switching
all the time on my XP Pro machines.
