    So I do what any good programmer does

    Good programmers hit CTRL+SHIFT+ESC. If the UI is already hanging, why bother going over a dialog that needs to repaint the desktop twice due do the change of the background image ? And you optimize your body usage, since only one hand is necessary to hit the keys.

        There's your problem right there, everyone else knows it's CTRL-ALT-DEL[^]. :)

        It was broke, so I fixed it.

          Why do you click on "End Task" on a not responding task at all? That's like asking the task if it could maybe come to an end of what it's doing. But only if it doesn't mind stopping what it's doing... and well.. maybe we just wait till it's done with that not responding thing and end it afterwards... basically you have the same thing as clicking on that shiny "x" symbol Go to the process in the process view and kill the process.

            What did the poor filename do? Well I tried training it to not crash with vigorous kill -9 training methods but a lass, not luck as yet

                Is this so ? I expect clicking on "End Task" to put a message in the windows message pump with higher than normal priority that would result in terminating the task, independently from what the task is up to.

                      As a bit elaborated here[^] the task receives the message in the message queue but because it is frozen doesn't process it. So "End Task" on a frozen application doesn't really have an effect unless the process is able to get responsive again on it's own (maybe because that operation that lead to it being not responding time out etc.) Sure, if you kill the process you might have some data loss etc. (depending on what the process was doing during the termination) because the process itself doesn't get notified that it is getting terminated.

                        No but I got a stiffy you can lock it in. Just beware a cello tape can unlock it just as easily :|
