Use EnumProcesses, GetModuleFileNameExA, GetModuleBaseNameA, EnumProcessModules to get proper process handle. Then use ::TerminateProcess.

TerminateProcess is the function of last resort. Try something "nice" first, like sending it a WM_CLOSE message.

[nbugalia]

Use FindWindow to get the handle of the window you want to close. Send WM_CLOSE message to this window.

And what if that process is doing something important? TerminateProcess() should be used as a last resort.

Or when your desired goal is to build a frail brittle software system... could happen.
