   See Message-ID  where I mentioned filespec   
   and /p arguments, and only those.  I said that 3 days ago.  That was my   
   first response.

   Yep, mentioned the /p arg back in my first response, too.

   And you divert via lambaste by not saying why you need to keep Wordpad   
   open between separate runs on your program.  To have you clarify, you   
   run your program, open Wordpad, and then immediately run your program   
   again?  How often do you run the "program"?

   Which can also specify image name or PID.  Window title can also be   
   specified, but all instances of Wordpad you open to the same file will   
   have " - WordPad" as their title, so no different than   
   using "/im wordpad".  Well, I didn't think about you having other   
   instances of Wordpad open to edit other files since the topic herein was   
   about you using Wordpad on the same file created by your "program".  If   
   you have other instances of Wordpad open at the time, and they loaded   
   different files, then /im wordpad would nail more than those just for   
   the program's output file.

   Have you yet disclosed just how you are running taskkill?  With which   
   args?  Your "program" remains a mystery, and so does how you use   
   taskkill.  I'm not wasting time discussing every permutation of args and   
   their values to cover every way taskkill can be used.  Stop hiding.

   Exactly.  You deliberately leave obtuse just how you use taskkill, so   
   others have to guess how you use it.  Stop hiding.

   And you're still hiding.  Instead of answering on how you use taskkill,   
   you obfuscate again.
