That works most of the time. But sometimes you get something with more than one thread and windows will keep the application around but the foreground window is destroyed. Programmatically in win32 windows and the process are two different things. The user will not see it that way though. Task manager usually can take it out. But every once and awhile it will still get stuck depending on the resources the application has created. At that point you can pull out pskill from ms sysinternals or just reboot.
