     Long shot: Have you tried to see if there is any difference in WordPad   
   behaviour between doing a 'taskkill /f ...' and doing a taskkill   
   without /f?   
      
     'taskkill /?' says   
      
       /F                     Specifies to forcefully terminate the process(es).   
      
   but doesn't say how that differs from a non-/f taskkill.

     Perhaps without /f, WordPad will do the desired thing and re-read the   
   file. I.e. similar to what unix programs can do when getting signals   
   like HUP, INT, USR1, USR2, etc., i.e. do something special, but do not   
   terminate.
