   Syntax: wordpad [/p]    
      
   That's it.  Get over your desire for Wordpad to have more args.  You can   
   pray as much as you like, but sometimes God says No.

   You're going to leave Wordpad windows open indefinitely until sometime   
   later when you shutdown Windows?

   I suggest *YOU* run at the command line:   
      
     taskkill /?   
      
   Specifying the PID is one way.  Specifying the image name is another,   
   but takes out all processes with the same image name.   
      
   Really that hard for you to read the syntax description to see PID is   
   one way to specify what process to kill?  What the hell do you think the   
   /pid argument is for?  Of course, in your snipping, you handily omit   
   that I mention using the /im argument to specify the image name.   
      
   You must specify WHAT to kill?  So, how do you do it for taskkill?   
   Apparently you profess that you don't use /pid or /im, so how ELSE do   
   you use taskkill?
