   You seem to have a problem with your chronology.   
      
   I did not ask you if you *now* can come up with something, I asked you where   
   you did *before* chewing me out over it.   
      
   ... or did you hope I would not notice what you did ? :-)   
      
   And by the way, I seem to have found information where you can, from the   
   commandline, select a different printer.  IOW, an indication that "{command}   
   /?" doen't always tell you everything (something I have also seen in regard   
   to other MS programs).

   :-) You're fishing for reasons to why you can claim I'm wrong, and than   
   retroactivily put that onto the current case, aren't you ?

   I suggest you do that again yourself, and now /actually read/ what it says.   
      
   Hint : the "/FI" argument.   
      
   > Really that hard for you to read the syntax description to see   
   > PID is one way to specify what process to kill?   
      
   I noticed, yes.  The problem is that you said, in relation to what *I* was   
   doing, "No having to find the PID of the prior instance of Wordpad.".   
      
   No, I didn't need a PID, so its anybodies guess (although I have a suspicion   
   or two) to why you mentioned it.   
      
   > Apparently you profess that you don't use /pid or /im,   
      
   You /realy/ have a reading problem, don't you ?    I challenge you to quote   
   where I said that I dodn't use /im.  I'll even go further : quote where I   
   mentioned /any/ of taskkill's arguments - *before* you tried to make claims   
   to how I did it wrong ofcourse.   
      
   > so how ELSE do you use taskkill?   
      
   Kid, your "you're wrong!" only exists because you, on purpose or otherwise,   
   change what /has/ being said into something that better serves your own   
   goals.   
      
   You're not the first one, and you'll likely will not be the last one trying   
   it either. :-(
