How to end Windows processes like a pro

CTRL + SHIFT + ESC

Blind type the exe name up to 3 characters

hit ALT + P
Enter

Process closed. Works even if you can't see the task manager (it will ALWAYS have focus when you hit CTRL + SHIFT + ESC) just make sure you actually have it set to start on the process page.... otherwise alt p does nothing ;p

Appears to be Alt + E in windows 7. Once again, MS randomly changing stuff for absolutely no reason. Rage!

Alt L in swedish,,, As in the L in avsluta...

We rascally users didn't have the courtesy to spell "End Process" the same way in all our languages :)

Well, this was rather silly. I expected something to do with OSX, and i get something about Win8 instead.

Win 8 seems to be amassing an enormous amount of panic from different companies. EA seems to go into full panic mode and expanding to Mac.

That sounds like it could be entertaining.
