if at all POSSIBLE can i close already running applications from dos?other than dos

ctrl+alt+del keysthanks but...
what im trying to do is script a batch FILE that does that for me (closes out off annoying these annoying processes so i dont have to)How did you end the bat file!i havent made it yet because i dont know the command to close other programs outclsi cant get it to work
can you give me an example or show me the cls in use?
i can only get it to clear the command pageCan you supply more data/info on the question you have ASKED:

Also system operating system,and what are you trying to bat files/~?I'm FAIRLY NEW to bat files, but from what I understand its a list of dos commands that are scripted together. But i may be wrong.

What I'm trying to do is script a bat file that when executed can end the files specified in the bat file. The problem is I don't know if there is a dos command that can remotely close other applications or if I'm going about it all the wrong way.

I don't know if it makes a difference but I'm using Windows XP ms-dos ver [5.1.2600]http://www.robvanderwoude.com/index.html
